About Press TV
Press TV is a 24-hour English language news organization of the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB). It is state-owned but independent of the Iranian government in its management, and its head is appointed directly by the supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. IRIB is the only legal TV and radio broadcaster inside Iran, and is close to Iran’s conservative political faction. Press TV broadcasts in English on a round-the-clock schedule.
