Kiarash Pournemati joined PressTV at the start of the Gaza genocide in October 2023—an intense time to step into the world of journalism. Starting as a guest producer, Kiarash transitioned to becoming an anchor in October 2024.

Beyond anchoring, Kiarash is also part of PressTV’s *Economic Divide* program, delivering the *Quick Take* segment. With a strong academic background, Kiarash holds a Master’s in Regional Studies (2023), having written a thesis extensively analyzing tensions between Iran and Israel.

Passionate about politics and international relations, Kiarash has a keen interest in U.S. politics, imperialism, and the evolving dynamics of West Asia. A firm believer that change begins on a personal level, he spends hours reading, researching, and engaging with diverse perspectives on social media.

When not analyzing global affairs, Kiarash enjoys sports, deep dives into political theory, and keeping up with the shifting tides of our transition into a multipolar world.
