How Crosswire groups Tehran Times

Crosswire groups Tehran Times as Right-leaning for comparisons within Iran's directory. This is an approximate Crosswire label, not a verified rating of its individual articles or a claim that every journalist shares one position. In Iran, Mehr News Agency and Iran International are listed as Centrist — so you can open Tehran Times beside a title of a different orientation and compare the same day's front pages directly.

Compare Tehran Times with another outlet from Iran covering the same event and edition. Record the headline, publication time, named sources and links to original evidence. Similar leaning labels can still produce different coverage; a different label does not guarantee an independent source. Check the articles before interpreting a front-page difference as bias.

This is an approximate orientation, not a definitive judgement — and not a rating of quality or accuracy. Read how Crosswire classifies editorial leanings. This profile does not include an individual assessment citation. Page updated 2026-09-28; this is a content-change date, not a fresh fact-check of the outlet. Think this label is wrong?
