Entekhab (Persian: انتخاب, lit. 'Choice') was a Persian-language newspaper published in Tehran, Iran between 1991 and 2004. Nevertheless, its news website is active under the name of "Entekhab" (Entekhab.ir) and has become one of the most visited news websites in Iran, close to reformists.
The Iranian Supreme National Security Council and the Ministry of Islamic Culture and Guidance shut down Entekhab from July to October 2023 over a video post criticizing Iran's foreign deals with China and Russia as failures. The video, titled Auction of the Iranian Brand: Why is Iranian Foreign Policy So Weak?, led to the website's confiscation. Despite a judge's order to release the site, the government refused to comply for weeks.
