Watch: BBC in Tehran for first time since protest crackdown
AI Summary
The BBC has reported from Tehran for the first time since Iranian security forces suppressed widespread anti-government protests last month. The visit coincides with Iran's marking of the 47th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution. The protests were met with significant force, with human rights activists estimating at least 6,400 protester deaths, and warning the final number could be higher. BBC's chief international correspondent, Lyse Doucet, is reporting from Tehran, but under restrictions imposed on all international media, her material cannot be used on the BBC's Persian Service. The BBC's presence allows for on-the-ground reporting amidst ongoing tensions and restrictions on information.
