Iran Lawmaker Says State TV Told to Broaden Political Views

A senior Iranian lawmaker stated that state television has been directed to present a broader spectrum of political viewpoints while staying within legal boundaries. The move follows criticism over the broadcaster’s handling of recent events.

The lawmaker, speaking to local media, emphasized that the directive aims to reduce controversy in programming. No further details were provided on the nature of the criticism or the specific events involved.

Iran’s state-run media has long been controlled by hardline factions, but occasional calls for more openness have surfaced amid political tensions.
