Tamadon TV (Dari: تلویزیون تمدّن, meaning "civilization") is a television network channel based in Kabul, Afghanistan. The channel was founded by Ayatollah Asif Mohseni[1][2] who spent $1 million setting it up in 2007.[3] The channel broadcasts content aimed at the country's Shia Muslim minority and maintains close links to the government of Iran.[4]
On April 1, 2022, it was reported that the ruling the Taliban banned the channel from broadcasting Iranian TV shows.[5] On 23 June 2026, several armed members of the Ministry of Justice raised Tamadon TV's headquarters in Kabul, forcing the channel off air and sealing its offices.[6][7]
