“Press TV” is an Iranian government agit-prop operation.

“”Press TV takes revolutionary steps as the first Iranian international news network, broadcasting in English on a round-the-clock basis.
Our global Tehran-based headquarters is staffed with outstanding Iranian and foreign media professionals.
Press TV is extensively networked with bureaus located in the world’s most strategic cities.””
I doubt it ... more Iranian propaganda. Always consider the source.
