Radio Farda part of West’s ’soft war’ against Iran, book says

by Andy Sennitt.

Radio Farda is part of a cultural invasion helping Western intelligence agencies wage a “soft war” against the Islamic republic, according to a book published by Iran’s Culture and Islamic Guidance Ministry.

“A Survey of Radio Farda,” published this spring by the ministry’s Bureau of Media Studies and Planning, brackets RFE/RL’s Persian-language outlet with Voice of America and the BBC as hostile “media operations” working against Iran. It also says Iranian journalists who join the station are providing “firsthand information” to Western intelligence agents.symbole-radio-farda1.gif
