Launched in June 2007, Press TV is Iran’s first 24/7 international news network broadcasting in English. As the flagship channel of the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) World Service, it delivers sharp, cutting-edge, in-depth coverage of all important global events, with a particular focus on West Asia and the Global South.

Headquartered in Tehran, Press TV operates through its newsroom, website, Tehran bureau, programs, and documentary divisions, supported by international bureaus in London, Beirut, Kabul, Damascus, and Baghdad, which enable it to deliver news not only with speed and precision, but with accuracy and depth.

The network has correspondents in almost all major world cities – from Moscow to New Delhi, New York to London, Beirut to Baghdad, Tokyo to Beijing, Gaza to Sana’a and beyond.

Mission

At its core, Press TV is driven by a simple yet powerful mission: the pursuit of truth. Guided by respect for journalistic integrity, the network brings to light not just the headlines that dominate global discourse, but also the overlooked and underreported stories that shape our world.

With sharp eyes and clear voice, Press TV strives to give audiences a perspective they are often denied – delivered with professionalism and balance, and with respect for all cultures, races, faiths, and communities, and without fear or favor.

Press TV takes pride and honor in being the voice of the voiceless, amplifying the voices of those who are often forced into silence by corporate mainstream media.

This commitment has come at a cost. In the world’s most perilous frontlines, where truth itself is under siege, Press TV journalists – including Maya Nasser, Sayed Farhad Taqaddosi, Habubullah Hussain Zada, and Serena Shim – made the ultimate sacrifice, giving their lives in the line of duty to reveal what others sought to conceal.

Despite being sanctioned by the United States, European Union, Canada, Australia and taken off many satellite broadcasters, Press TV continues its mission undeterred: to report the truth without fear, to empower audiences worldwide to question the polished but slanted narratives of mainstream media, to think critically, and to seek out the truth for themselves.
