BBC Persian

BBC Persian is a Persian-language news service operated by the BBC, providing coverage of Iran and the surrounding region. It is newsworthy due to its reporting on the recent widespread protests in Iran, the government's crackdown, and the severe internet shutdowns imposed by the Iranian authorities. Recent articles highlight the extreme measures taken by the Iranian government to suppress dissent, including the killing of protesters, demanding money for the return of bodies, and restricting internet access. BBC Persian is also reporting on the use of Starlink in Iran and international reactions to the situation, including statements from President Trump. Its reporting is significant because it provides a vital source of information on events inside Iran, often circumventing government censorship and offering a platform for voices that would otherwise be silenced.
