What it actually is

One of the biggest Persian-language news operations outside Iran, publishing text articles, video reports and programmes every day, all free and all in standard written Persian. As a graduation target it is ideal: the same story is often available as text and as video, so you can read first and then listen. Nothing is graded or slowed for learners, the register is formal, and the political framing is contested inside Iran — worth knowing, though it does not affect its value as language input.
