Kayhan London is a Persian-language Iranian online newspaper based in London. The newspaper was founded in June 1984 by Mostafa Mesbahzadeh,[4][5] who founded Kayhan prior to being leaving Iran as a result of the Iranian Revolution. It has an anti-government view regarding the government of Iran; it is also banned within the country.[6][7]

The first issue of Kayhan London was published on 12 June 1983; it would be published in a weekly format until 30 August 2013, when it was announced that the newspaper would cease publication.[8] Following this, an online version of the newspaper was launched in March 2015.[5] In 2020, Kayhan London, alongside several other newspapers, was the subject of harassment by the Iranian government; according to Radio Free Europe, the purpose of the harassment was to "silence the only independent news sources for many Iranians".[9]
