What it actually is

The Persian service of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, publishing news audio, podcasts and matching text throughout the day — the audio-first counterpart to reading BBC Persian. Free and easy to work through in short bursts. It is a US-funded outlet and is blocked inside Iran, so its framing is not neutral and Iranian friends may react to it; as with any news source, use it for language and get your perspective from more than one place.
