The paradox of Tehran Times is built into its founding: an English-language daily run by an Iranian state-affiliated foundation, written for foreigners in the language of the country it most often criticises. Its beat tracks Foreign Ministry priorities, regional rivalries, and Western policy, in the cadence of an outlet that knows its audience sits partly in Washington and Tel Aviv. The voice is unmistakably official; the ambition is unmistakably foreign-facing.
