- 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 while visiting Ireland that the war against Iran will end very soon. Speaking to journalists in Dublin, Trump suggested the conflict would likely conclude after the Midterm elections. He added that oil prices will plummet once the war ends.
Trump reiterated his position that Iran cannot possess a nuclear weapon. He claimed that Iran was two weeks away from developing such a weapon and asserted that they would have used it to bomb Israel, the Middle East, and cities in Europe and beyond. However, Aftenposten noted that the IAEA and U.S. intelligence have concluded that Iran scrapped its nuclear weapons program in 2003 and has not since decided to develop such weapons.
