It is great to hear that BBC Persian TV will launch on 14 January.
This has been a long standing British goal, supported by our Government. The intention is to provide ordinary Iranians with accurate, impartial news and information analysis that will help inform them and, over time encourage the natural process of change in Iran.
The BBC Persian Service has long broadcast by radio and enjoys a strong reputation. The Iranian Government have already denounced the service - although this does not stop them investing heavily in foreign langauge broadcasting, both English and Arabic.
The TV channel is part of the BBC's multimedia Persian service.
