About

Our Mission

Artesh Intelligence is an independent platform dedicated to making Iranian news and information accessible to English-speaking audiences worldwide. We bridge the language gap between Iran’s complex media landscape and the global community seeking to understand developments in one of the world’s most strategically important nations.

Our name, “Artesh” (ارتش), means “army” in Persian—reflecting our commitment to marshaling comprehensive intelligence about Iran from diverse sources across the political spectrum.

What We Do

We aggregate, translate, and analyze news from over 30 Iranian media sources, including:

State Media: IRNA, Fars News, Tasnim, ISNA, Mehr News, Press TV
Opposition & Diaspora Media: BBC Persian, Iran International, Radio Farda, DW Persian, VOA Persian
Human Rights Organizations: HRANA, Iran Human Rights (IHR), Center for Human Rights in Iran (CHRI)
Economic Sources: Financial Tribune, Tehran Times, and market data providers

By presenting news from across the ideological spectrum, we enable readers to understand not just what is happening in Iran, but how different stakeholders frame and interpret events.

Our Approach

Source Diversity

Every story includes a source diversity score showing whether coverage comes from state media, opposition outlets, international sources, or human rights organizations. This transparency helps readers evaluate information critically.

AI-Assisted Translation

We use advanced AI technology to translate Persian-language articles into English, making Iranian media accessible to a global audience. All translations are processed for accuracy, and our Editorial Policy details our methodology and quality standards.

Entity Tracking

Our database tracks thousands of people, organizations, and events mentioned in Iranian news. This allows readers to follow specific figures or topics over time and understand their role in Iran’s complex political landscape.

Financial Intelligence

We monitor key economic indicators including the Rial exchange rate, gold prices, oil markets, and the Tehran Stock Exchange, providing technical analysis that’s otherwise unavailable in English.
