Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.

Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.

The owner of each outlet is listed as a matter of record, not as a judgement about the outlet.

Iran's Revolutionary Guards announced on Tuesday that they captured a United States uncrewed submarine at the entrance to the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian state media identified the vessel as a Dive-LD, a 19 foot autonomous underwater vehicle manufactured by the California based defense firm Anduril. The Revolutionary Guards described the submersible as one of the most modern and intelligent drones of the American army.
