Iran International (Persian: ایران اینترنشنال) is a Persian-language satellite television channel and multilingual digital news operation established in May 2017 and headquartered in London aimed at Iranians and people interested in Iranian news, culture, society and sports.[1]
In February 2023, threats from the Iranian government against its UK-based journalists[2] led the network to move headquarters temporarily to Washington, D.C.[3]
News content is available online, via radio and via satellite broadcasting worldwide including inside Iran despite official attempts at censorship. The network reports on Iran's geopolitical role, economy, human rights violations, political developments, LGBTQ+ rights and other topics sensitive to the government in Iran.[4][5]
