Ms Javaneh, Persian Dude and Omid the researcher

BBC Persian did not start or even run the Iranian revolution BUT they did help organise the gathernings and they did stir up the sentiments. Please remember that the BBC's Overseaes Sericve is funded and controlled by the Foreign Office. Also the Iranians who worked there were unanimously anti-Shah and with no direct control over the contents of their programme (only direction of the programmes were checked) they could say what they liked to say.

The BBC's home service is a world different from it's overseas sister but the little sister benefits from the expriences and models her edler sibling.

I will certainly follow up the new BBC's programmes with an open eye and not trust them whole heartedly.

persian dude

I was there in 79. I know what happened. I might just add that there were benefits from international presence and involvement there, apart from the supply of weapons, or at least ppl thought so then. Maybe Iran should have bought technology, weapons and military machines only from Russia? Or produced their own? But Im not going to get into a political argument about the past.

My point is that it is past, 30 yrs old now. Iran can't wave it's arms around forever proclaimimg that its all everyone elses fault that Iran is as it is today. Iran got what Iran thought  it wanted. There is always going to be foreign influences in any country that is willing to do business with another. Its the way it works. Not saying it's good, just saying it's the way things are in the real world. As a university student in one of the top uk universities, you should know a little about it, Nothing happens in a vacuum. The way some ppl talk, it sounds like everything was done to Iran, rather than Iran having a role in it itself.  

And this new channell is as trustable as any tv channell is. Iranians can't blame the Brits per se forever.

LOOOOOOOOOOOL

New Note on BBC Persian!

Plz take a look on my new piece on BBC PTV:
//zamaaneh.com/blog/2009/01/post_127.html

News for the BBC: ;0)

Got news for you ... Hope you will Report it. From the International Herald Tribune :

//iranian.com/main/news/2009/01/11/british-bank-helped-iran-moved-billions-u-s

Iranian banks illegally shifted billions of dollars through American financial institutions in recent years, and the authorities suspect some of the money may have been used to finance Iranian nuclear and missile programs.Details of the illicit transfers came to light on Friday when the New York State and U.S. authorities announced that a large British bank had agreed to pay $350 million to settle accusations that it had helped the Iranian banks hide the transactions.

Then why is the IRI up in

Then why is the IRI up in arms over bbc broadcasting in Persian?

//latimesblogs.latimes.com/babylonbeyond/2009/01/professional-an.html 

what gives?

VoA an organ of the US government staretd a Farsi TV program several years ago. Soon it became clear that the whole TV station was infested by a group who are known as "Mahmoodi Family". Although it should not be an issue, but it turned out that they are all Bahais -- unhappy and dissatisfied with the IRI regime.. Things became so rediculus (as far as "balance" and "fairness" is concerned) that even the US congress which approves their funding and budget has started questioning the prudence of VoA. It is known as CIA TV in Iran by those who watch it.
Now we have nother Bahai family taking over yet another "fair" and "balance" media towards Iranians this time funded by the Brits. What gives?

BBC

I haven't seen the BBC Persian TV or listened to its radio. But I find BBC International News channel far more professional and ballanced than the American InfoTaiment channels such as CNN and Fox News who spend more time on Obama's search for a dog or his kids' launch menus than actual world news!

Plaese, for the sake of sanity, stop the nagging laments. Shah is dead... get over it!!

former propagandists

for Ommati regime are now it seems having a party on BBC . I mean get a grip , I,m supposed to think that a dude with 10 yrs work for Mullah media is going to be impartial to the plights of Iranians . salli keh nekoost .......

The way you have stated your comments is right to a certain extent. however, the bbc is not to be trusted in any shape or form. it is right that the iranian people did get rid of the shah but they did help the process and they did help in the coup of 53 as well. they have always paid a role in someway or other. the western powers gave the gun to the iranian people and the iranian people fired the shot. they know we were religious and backward. they used that against us. in 53 and 79.

just to made it more interesting. i live in england. i was born here too. i also go to university here and i study law here in one of the top 5 universities. so i do not have a complete iranian mind.

Stop being such a DORK!!!

God! What a dork! I read your entire propaganda article. You must have rewritten, spellchecked and consulted it with your supervisor 10 times!!  BOOOWWRRIIING.

 Even a Marketing pamflet reads more natural. 

I'll tell you a little story, to illustrate why BBC Persian is not as loved as you would wish. It cannot be when it bends over for the IRI.

 I went to Egypt, and in the lobby of a hotel in Aswan a woman started talking to me in English. She was about 75 years old. It turned out that she was Palestinian from Gaza. This was 2006. Right after the Palestinians had elected Hezbollah.  

 Lets say, I am no fan of Hezbollah or religious people of the sort.

The palestinian grandma kept complaining that she didn't have a passport because of Israel and bitching about it, etc.  When it finally got too much, I told her point blank: "But you guys voted for Hezbollah".

She responded: "You know why? Because we want A Nation".

By the way she didnt look muslim. There are christian Gazan's as well.

My point is that, I hope iranians would want "A Nation" too. And this "nation" would not be compatible with the IRI governement, which the BBC bends over for.

Sometimes its best to HAVE an agenda and not be such a bunch of  suckers.

dayi jan where have you been!

Man I have missed Dayi Jan napoleon since they stopped showing it on local Iranian channel here. But now I found several of them here. Could you guys please post more about the evil English so we can have a good laugh here... please. 

Grow up, nobody forced Iranian people to vote for IRI but they did themselves. BBC does not force Iranians to drive like jack asses in Iran but they do. BBC did not bring Shia or Islam to Iran. BBC did not let Khomeini back in to Iran.

To all the British haters

I wish you would get over it..... the Brits today are no more resonsible for what happened then than you are for the revolution in Iran in 1978 - 79. But I guess you have to have someone to hate huh?

Its only you that will mss out if you boycott this channel .... and thats up to you! Do you watch US channels? Or do you skip those too.... ??

persian dude is right on....

why the heck are u celebrating.....? aren't these the same morons that gave an open mike to khomeini????
I would never listen to this bs.....the brits are iran's NUMBER ONE ENEMY.....REMEMBER THAT!

Good Reference!

Good Video!

That was a good video about "illiterate liberals". What I find funny is that they strike such convincing intellectual pose!

By the way where can I buy clothing to make me look like a cool liberal???

I heard about a billionaire who contributed to the crash of the stock market and caused thousands of people to lose their jobs. His daughter used to work as a volunteer in soup kitchens and charities before she got admitted easily into Harvard Business School.
I guess she knew how to make a good resume.

It is time these pseudo-intellectuals were unmasked for their truly vicious nature which they hide so astutely behind a smiling and caring face.

I think people like Anne Coulter do a good job about deconstructing this whole leftist liberal shabang:

Obama bought this election, McCain won it

TO ALL ILLITERATE LIBERALS

Please take a little time to look at this 30 second clip. I am interested to know your opinions regarding it. I view it as a clear outline of the Iranian regime and how B. Hussein Obama will treat it differently than President Bush has.

Are these quotes representative of Sen. Barack Obama?
If they are, do you support these views?

Whatever you think of this video, it is a clear example of how Sen. McCain would have had an offensive foreign policy platform, similar to President Bush's, as opposed to Obama's defensive one.

In my opinion this is what B. Hussein Obama believes. I disagree with him, and I disagree strongly, but I will not insult him. Many people, including myself, view him as under-qualified to be president. Especially when taking his 'present' votes in the IL state senate into account. He is a respectable human being, especially because he admitted his mistakes on the O'Reilly Factor, but so did Senator McCain. Sen. Obama's social policies are very out-of-touch with the rest of us living in America who are pro-life and anti-gay marriage. Obama opposed something similar to the Born Alive Infants Act in the IL State Senate. Also, Obama opposed the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban that President Bush supported and proudly passed. Obama is for the radical redefining of marriage. I just hope Obama will not go through with his promise of ending President Bush's prodigious tax-cuts and fixing loopholes such as cell phone taxes and internet taxes, will be sure to keep our low inflation and HIGH GDP growth rate.

My final message:
Thank You President Bush

A message for BBC (in Persian)

بنگاه محترم بی بی سی،

شما سالهاست که با برنامه های رادیویی خود به مشگلات سیاسی ایران دامن زده و اذهان و عقاید سیاسی مردم ایران را تحت تاثیر قرار میدهید. و این دخالتها در سال 1979 به نا آرامیهای ایران دامن زده و اکثر مورخین بر این عقیده اند که برنامه های رادیویی شما به فرایند به  قدرت رسیدن آیت الله خمینی و ملاها و آنچه در سی سال گذشته بر سر ما آمده است بطور تایین کننده ای کمک کرد! حالا هم که به نا سلامتی شما تلویزیون هم به عملیات نامیمون خود افزوده اید!  بنده به نیابت از چندین نسل سوخته ایرانی از شما عاجزانه تقاضا دارم که جون مادرت حالا دیگه از ما بکش بیرون! دیگه تاب و توان عواقب سخن پراکنی شما را ملت ایران ندارد. تو رو به هر کی اعتقاد دارید حالا دیگه ما رو ول کنید! 30 سال بس نیست؟!

با عرض احترام و سلام به هر مجستی د کویین!

یک  ایرانی بدبخت ننه مرده! 

bbc is evil! full stop!

the bbc an arm of the state for britain. it has never been objective and fair with regards to iran. why because the british government has control over it. they have lied to iranians for many years. they helped in the 1953 and the 1979 'revolution' which has destroyed our country.

watching the bbc persian service is a mistake! full stop. the british are after their own interest.
the service is funded through british tax payers money. the british economy is in a recession but they are still setting up this service. does it not raise questions in your mind about their intentions.
NO TO THE BBC PERSIAN SERVICE. STOP GETTING INVOLVED IN IRANIAN AFFAIRS AND STOP BEING BIASED TOWARDS THE IRANIAN DEMOCRATIC MOVEMENT.

Thank you Omid

I have been trying to find out when it was due to launch and havent had much luck, Do you know if it will broadcast through Sky?

So far, what I have seen looks good, Im looking forward to it, at least while Im still here in the UK
