- 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.
Every outlet covering this story shares the same political lean; read with that in mind.
President Donald Trump stated on Tuesday that the United States maintains almost total control of the Strait of Hormuz and that the Iranian economy is collapsing. In a social media post, Trump denied that he is attempting to force Iran to the negotiating table, asserting that he is not interested in an agreement that he considers useless for Tehran. He concluded his message by asking when the Iranian people would rise up to fight.
