Al-Alam News Network is a Tehran-based Arabic-language television news channel. Established in 2003 by Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting, it broadcasts continuously, addressing the most challenging issues of the Muslim and Arab world and the Middle East.

The network's political coverage tends to be the most popular; however, other subjects, such as commentaries, analysis, business and sports also get a share of the audience. Programs are broadcast for over 200 million Arabic-speaking people around the world, with large audiences in the Persian Gulf and Mediterranean regions. The satellite channel can be received in five continents.

Al-Alam has news bureaus in Tehran, Beirut and Baghdad. Unlike many other channels, Al-Alam can be viewed in Iraq without the use of a satellite receiver, as it is able to use a terrestrial transmitter close to the Iran-Iraq border.

An English language website, known as Alalam News, was launched on August 15, 2006, aiming to disseminate news in an impartial moderate manner. [ [http://www.alalam.ir/english/service/about-us.htm Alalam News - about us] ]

Alalam News Network has launched its Persian Website in April, 2007 in order to cover merely the exclusive Alalam news in Persian language.

But unfortunately the English website of Alalam was closed on September 22 due to financial problem and mismanagement.
