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 Donald Trump stated on Sunday that the United States could potentially remain in Iran and keep its oil, comparing such a scenario to the situation in Venezuela. Speaking to media during his visit to the Irish Open in Doonbeg, Ireland, Trump noted that while the US would eventually leave, the country might decide to stay and keep the oil instead. These comments followed questions regarding a planned meeting between Iran, Iraq, and the Gulf Cooperation Council countries. That meeting, which was scheduled for Monday in Salalah, Oman, was ultimately postponed. Officials from Oman, Qatar, and Iran confirmed the delay, citing the need for consensus and the desire to ensure conditions for a constructive dialogue. The postponement occurred amid regional tensions, including Saudi Arabia's decision to close a primary oil pipeline and reports of a projectile hitting a commercial vessel near Iranian islands, which resulted in one death.
