About Us

Launched in 1995, Iranian.com is a vibrant community site for Iranians Worldwide who care deeply about all things Iranian--identity, culture, music, history, politics, literature, and one another.

With the Islamic Republic of Iran's suffocating censorship of the Internet and media, its harsh treatment of bloggers, journalists and online activists, Iranian.com serves as a beacon for discussion and counterweight to the forces of contraction. It is a central meeting space where information is openly shared, debated and celebrated--a real time pulse of diverse voices and perspectives across the Iranian Diaspora.

"Censorship: the reaction of the ignorant to freedom."
