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.

President Trump stated that the United States is not engaging in talks with Iran. The administration is instead focusing on an economic war. According to one report, U.S. officials told mediators that there is no interest in reviving the June agreement; the strategy is to wait for extreme economic sanctions to take effect. A center leaning source frames the situation as a focus on economic war, while a left leaning source frames it as a rejection of the previous agreement in favor of economic pressure.
