Reading PressTV is like getting geopolitics through a deliberately Iranian frame: it foregrounds conflict, Western foreign policy, and “resistance” narratives at a steady, relentless pace, with headlines that rarely leave room for uncertainty. The tone is sharp and consistent, and the angle almost always points away from Tehran as the party to be examined. The contrast is hard to miss: a channel built to speak outward on behalf of the state is tied to a state that tightly restricts speech at home.
