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

US President Donald Trump announced on Sunday that new negotiations with Iran are scheduled to begin on Monday afternoon. The announcement follows his decision to cancel planned military strikes against the Islamic Republic, which Trump described as having been the largest since World War II. He stated that the talks will focus on the denuclearization of Iran and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway for global energy supplies. Trump claimed that Iran, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar had requested the delay of the attacks because the parameters of a deal had been agreed upon. He noted that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman specifically urged de-escalation to avoid unintended consequences.

Iran has not confirmed the scheduled talks. The semi-official Mehr news agency dismissed Trump's claims that Tehran asked for a delay as a lie. However, Iranian officials mentioned separate progress on other fronts. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and other officials stated that negotiations with Oman regarding a new shipping route through the Strait of Hormuz are nearing finalization, though they clarified this does not mean the strait is fully reopened. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian also referenced a memorandum of understanding signed in June as a foundation for future diplomacy.

Global oil prices fell significantly in Asian trading on Monday following the announcement. Brent Crude dropped approximately 4.5 percent to around 83.98 dollars per barrel, while US West Texas Intermediate crude fell roughly 4.6 percent to 80.74 dollars per barrel. Despite the diplomatic signals, maritime tensions persist. The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations reported an explosion near a tanker close to Khasab, Oman, though the ship and crew were reported safe.

The conflict began on February 28 when the US and Israel launched surprise strikes against Iran. Since then, the situation has been characterized by cycles of threats and intermittent diplomacy. Trump has previously issued warnings of massive destruction before calling for peace talks, a pattern noted by several reports.
