Volant Media

Volant Media is a UK-registered company that was established in 2017 to found and operate Iran International, the Persian-language television news network. The ownership and funding of Volant Media has been a subject of investigative reporting; multiple outlets have alleged links to Saudi Arabian government funding, connecting the channel to Riyadh's broader media strategy targeting the Islamic Republic. The Islamic Republic has used these alleged Saudi ties to accuse Iran International of being a foreign-operated influence operation. Volant Media's principal beneficiary has been reported as Goli Ameri, though the full ownership structure has not been publicly disclosed.
