- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
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 conflict between the United States and Iran continues to destabilize the Middle East, with advisors JD Vance and Marco Rubio warning President Trump that the struggle with Tehran could last for his entire term. Following a series of attacks and a failed memorandum of understanding, the Strait of Hormuz remains effectively blocked. Meanwhile, Houthi militias are advancing along the western coast of Yemen and consolidating control over the strategic Bab al Mandab strait. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has urged President Trump to order direct US strikes against the Houthis, but the White House has declined, stating that regional partners should manage the direct conflict while the US provides intelligence and non kinetic support. In Gaza, the US announced an agreement for Hamas's disarmament and the installation of a technical government, though Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected the plan. A center left perspective suggests that any stable solution to the Gulf conflict requires the inclusion of China and deeper economic integration. In contrast, a center right perspective emphasizes the immediate military threats, the risk of a prolonged conflict, and the strategic necessity of maintaining freedom of navigation in the Red Sea.
