There is significant pressure and restriction on media in Iran, and Reporters Without Borders in its report this year has ranked Iran 177th out of 180 countries in terms of freedom of expression.

In this year’s report by this organization advocating for press freedom, only three countries, Vietnam, China, and North Korea, have a worse situation than Iran.
