Iran blocks BBC Persian website



      Share

The BBC says the level of traffic to the site from within Iran has dropped sharply over the last three days.

 

No official explanation has been given. The BBC has expressed concern at the action, saying it deprives many Iranians of a trusted source of news.

 

The BBC said it would be approaching the Iranian government at an official level about re-instating access.

 

BBC Persian.com is the most popular of the BBC’s non-English language websites, receiving about 30 million page impressions a month – about half of which are from inside Iran.
