Mashregh News

Mashregh News (Persian: مشرق‌نیوز, lit. 'Eastern News') is a news website based in Tehran, Iran. PBS Frontline described it as "close to the security and intelligence organizations". Mashregh News often breaks stories of international interest.

The agency is known for censoring and altering news images. In 2011, when Sarah Shourd was released from an Iranian prison, Mashregh News blurred the areas of her breasts and arms in photos of her.
