Kayhan (Persian: کيهان, lit.'The Cosmos') is a Persian-language newspaper published in Tehran, Iran. It is considered "the most conservative and hard-line Iranian newspaper."[1] Hossein Shariatmadari is the editor-in-chief of Kayhan. According to the report of the New York Times in 2007, his official position is representative of the Supreme Leader of Iran.[2]

Kayhan has about 1,000 employees worldwide.[2] There are conflicting reports about its circulation numbers: in 2006 the BBC gave it as 60,000–100,000 copies,[3] in 2007 the New York Times gave "about 70,000", and in 2008 a New York University School of Law journal article reported it as 350,000 copies.[4] Kayhan also publishes special foreign editions, which include the English-language Kayhan International.[1]
