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 United States is preparing a new wave of sanctions against Iran targeting gold, technology, digital assets, aviation, and maritime transport. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent presented these measures during a press conference in Washington on Monday. Donald Trump has warned that any countries, companies, or financial institutions that continue to trade with Tehran or provide a lifeline to the regime will face severe economic consequences. This strategy aims to increase the isolation of Iran without engaging in a new military operation.
Outlets with a center lean describe the move as a method to isolate the Iranian regime. In contrast, a center left source frames the strategy as an attempt at economic asphyxiation resulting from a lack of a viable military solution and a state of strategic wandering.
