Alalam TV Live Stream

Alalam TV is the English-language service of Al-Alam News Network, the Tehran-based channel of Iran's state broadcaster IRIB. It publishes news, video and programme material in Arabic, Persian and English, with an English site organised by Iran, the Middle East and world regions.

Iran, the Middle East and the world

The site's sections cover Iran, the Middle East, world news, variety, photos and video, and its regional pages follow Iraq, Palestine, Lebanon and Yemen. That emphasis reflects the network's purpose: to present Iranian policy and its view of regional conflicts in the languages of the countries involved.

A network in several languages

Al-Alam broadcasts in Arabic and Persian as well as English, and the Arabic service reaches the largest audience by far, since Iraq, Lebanon, Syria and the Gulf are its main markets. The English site exists for officials, analysts and journalists abroad who follow Iranian positions directly.

State television abroad

IRIB funds a family of external services, and Al-Alam is among the oldest of them, launched in 2003 as the Arabic-language channel. Its reporting is regularly cited and regularly contested by other broadcasters, particularly on Syria, Yemen and the nuclear file.

Browsing by region

Because the site is organised by geography and topic rather than by programme, a reader can follow one conflict across months without watching the linear channel, which makes the website the more useful half of the service for foreign readers.
