The Tehran Times is an English-language daily newspaper published in Iran, founded in 1979 as the self-styled "voice of the Islamic Revolution". While not state-owned, it is considered state-controlled and closely tied to the hardline factions within the Iranian government.[1]

History

The newspaper was founded by Mohammad Beheshti in 1979 following the Iranian Revolution as a self-proclaimed "voice of the Islamic Revolution".[2][3]

Mohammad Shojaeian took over as the new managing director of the Tehran Times and the MNA in September 2019.[4] On April 12, 2020, Shojaeian appointed Ali A. Jenabzadeh as the editor-in-chief of the Tehran Times daily newspaper.[5]

In August 2023, Tehran Times published a United States Department of State memo informing U.S. Special Envoy for Iran Rob Malley of his security clearance suspension. The publication prompted calls by Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate for a probe into how the newspaper acquired the information.[6]

Editorial position

Ayatollah Mohammad Hossein Beheshti, second in line in the political hierarchy following the 1979 Islamic Revolution, stated: "Tehran Times is not a state-owned newspaper, rather it must be the voice of the oppressed people in the world.”[7] Although the newspaper is not state-owned, "it aims to disseminate key tenets of the Islamic Revolution and is therefore generally supportive of the Islamic Republic of Iran's ideology".[8]
