The image is from Google Earth Pro, and if you zoom in on Cyprus, the line will be dotted, which is used when there is a de facto separation rather than an official border.

I do a lot of work with geospatial data, and most of the time it’s someone grabbing a premade vector dataset from an online source (such as natural earth or other free datasets) and dropping it into their project without any kind of Quality Control. The channel (NBC in this case) probably put zero thought into it, they just wanted to have a map ASAP. They’re not trying to make a political statement

It is a TV graphic for one-off use to show geographic context in relation to Iran. It has not been prepared or reviewed with any consideration of or relevance to Cyprus. Please let’s just close this pointless “topic” I’m bored just writing this. Also, news channels just use existing software, they don’t draw borders / maps.
