Radio For Peace International launches a daily program in Farsi for the people of Iran
In a context marked by regional tensions and conflicts that disrupt the flow of information in the Middle East, Radio For Peace International (RFPI) announces the launch of a daily program in Farsi language for the Iranian people , broadcast on shortwave.
The war in the region, combined with restrictions imposed on the media and regular internet disruptions, severely limits Iranian citizens' access to independent and verified information. In response to this situation, RFPI is strengthening its commitment by offering a program designed specifically for Iranian listeners , providing them with direct access to international news and independent analysis.
Since 2019, RFPI has been developing programs dedicated to human rights, press freedom, and access to reliable information , aimed at populations living in crisis zones or facing censorship. Shortwave broadcasting allows them to reach listeners even when internet access is restricted or when international media are blocked.
A daily broadcast to Iran
The program is broadcast daily from 05:00 to 05:30 UTC on the frequency 15640 kHz towards Iran.
Lasting 30 minutes, the program is structured to offer clear, accessible and useful content to listeners:
- 2-minute introduction presenting the themes of the show
- 8 minutes of verified news on Iran and the international situation
- 8 minutes of political analysis and a direct message to Iranian listeners
- 5-minute educational module , offering civic and practical content
- 5 minutes of music celebrating culture and artistic diversity
- 2-minute conclusion
This format aims to combine information, analysis and educational content , in order to provide Iranian listeners with reliable reference points in an unstable regional context.
Shortwave radio: a direct link with the population
In areas marked by conflict and media restrictions, shortwave radio remains one of the few means of broadcasting capable of crossing borders and bypassing technical barriers.
"In times of war or high political tension, access to information quickly becomes limited. Shortwave radio makes it possible to maintain a direct link with the population and to continue to broadcast independent information," explains the RFPI team.
Informing and supporting the right to information
RFPI's programs are produced by an international team of journalists committed to freedom of information and media pluralism .
With this new daily Farsi broadcast, the radio station intends to speak directly to the Iranian people and help maintain access to independent information despite the war, censorship, and restrictions on the media space.
