The Islamic Republic of Iran News Network (IRINN) (Persian: شبکه خبر جمهوری اسلامی ایران) is an Iranian news channel, part of Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) corporation, headquartered at the Jame Jam Park in Tehran, Iran. The main programs are political, but sports, science and medical news programs also exist. Its language is mainly in Persian; Although, in the early years of its launch, programs in English and Arabic were also broadcast on this network. [1]

From August 2022, with the launch of the second channel of the IRINN network for live broadcasting of news events, various events in Iran and the world will also be broadcast live on this channel for the audience.

During the Iran–Israel War, the channel's studio at the IRIB headquarters was hit by an Israeli strike on June 16 2025 on live TV, killing the channel's editor-in-chief Nima Rajabpour and IRIB secretary Masoumeh Azimi.[2][3]
