IRNA
IranIRNA is the official state news agency of Iran, founded in 1934 and headquartered in Tehran. In our feed its output is overwhelmingly about Iran, followed by the United States, Israel, Pakistan and Iraq. Politics makes up about two thirds of it, with diplomacy by far the largest single subject, then military affairs and security; economy and society are minor. Its headlines are consistently favourable toward Iran and its leadership and hostile toward the United States.
Political leaning and stance
IRNA's headlines are consistently favourable toward Iran and its officials. President Masoud Pezeshkian, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf are quoted directly as authoritative voices, without distancing verbs, and Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is treated reverentially and in eulogy. The United States is measured in only one month with enough headlines, where the tone is hostile, with US and Israeli actions described as unjustified. Iran itself receives no critical treatment at all. The measurement works from the outlet's headlines toward countries and persons; it is not a rating of accuracy.
