Iran news API
Coverage about Iran from 1170 distinct publishers, in whatever language
it was reported. Pass country=IR to filter.
What coverage of Iran looks like
Coverage concentrates on regional politics, energy and sanctions. Publisher positions vary considerably, and international coverage about Iran heavily outweighs domestic reporting in the stream.
The media landscape
Domestic outlets differ considerably in editorial position, alongside a substantial layer of international coverage about the country that dominates an unscoped result. Energy and sanctions reporting carries specifics that international summaries drop; general coverage is heavily commentary-weighted.
Querying this market
Separate the two with publisher_country, or a query about Iran mostly returns what other countries are saying about it.
GET /search?country=IR&mode=hybrid&from=2026-07-24&limit=20Identifiers are FIPS 10-4, not ISO 3166 — why that matters.
What catches people out
International coverage about Iran substantially outweighs domestic reporting in an unscoped result set, so without publisher_country this filter mostly measures what other countries are saying. Domestic outlets differ considerably in position, and sanctions and energy coverage carries specifics that international summaries drop. Domestic and diaspora outlets both appear under this filter with sharply different editorial constraints, and separating them changes the character of the result set entirely. Energy reporting is the most factually dense material; political coverage carries a high proportion of commentary that a naive volume metric will count as reporting.
