Iran News Wire is an English-language news and analysis website founded in 2018, dedicated to covering political developments, human rights, civil society, and religious freedom in Iran for an international audience. Its reporting focuses on issues such as political protests, prisoners' rights, and the treatment of religious minorities, and it has been cited in official governmental reports, including the U.S. State Department's 2020 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices and the Danish Immigration Service's 2020 report on the November 2019 protests. The outlet has also been referenced by academic institutions like the University of Cambridge's Citizen Evidence Lab and in scholarly journals, as well as by major media outlets such as Voice of America, Morning Star, and Democracy Digest. Its work has been republished or cited by international platforms including Bianet (Turkey), Ukrainska Pravda (Ukraine), and Eurasia Review. Most notably, in August 2026, the UK Home Office cited Iran News Wire as a source in its official country-information research on Iran, further solidifying its role as a key reference for policymakers and researchers.
