It's called
PressTV and is highly recommended if you want to get a more balanced worldview, with less brainwashing than in the West. Why do you think PressTV is censored (off air) in many Western countries? And why do you think hardly no one on FT has been in Teheran? Talk about one-sidedness.
My local hosts who operate luxury boutiques in Iran always book us in the
Sepehr Hotel, located in the VIP and expat neighbourhood, which I can recommend (although it is rather small, quiet and private).
