Islamic Republic News Agency
Iranian state
IRNA is Iran's official state news agency, owned and controlled by the Iranian government through the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance. Its coverage consistently reflects Iranian government positions, which have been sharply adversarial toward the Trump administration throughout the 2025–26 period of maximum-pressure sanctions, military strikes, and contested nuclear diplomacy. It functions as the authoritative channel for official Iranian state messaging in Persian, English, and Arabic.
