Iran's state television on Tuesday issued a correction after calling Pink Floyd's Roger Waters a "political expert" when airing his comments on US President-elect Joe Biden.

The broadcaster earlier in the day showed part of the rock icon's interview with Russian channel RT, presenting him as an analyst who believes "Biden cannot be trusted." US President Donald Trump's re-election "would've been worse for everyone in the world, but that doesn't make Biden a good candidate," Waters said.

"Biden [is a] warmongering servant of the oligarchy that rules the United States of America and will continue to be so for however long he remains the president of the United States. He's not to be trusted on anything," Waters added.

State TV said on its Telegram channel that Waters was "wrongly called a political expert" during the morning news and instead described him as someone with "activities in the field of socio-political music."
