- 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.

President Trump has rejected a request from the Saudi crown prince to launch U.S. military strikes against Yemen's Houthis. According to two U.S. officials cited by Axios, the United States will not take military action against the Iran backed rebels at this time. Separately, Iran and Gulf states are scheduled to meet on Monday to pursue a deal regarding the Strait of Hormuz. Regional states hope that a temporary shipping agreement between Iran and Oman can provide a pathway to ease hostilities and reopen the strait.
