BBC Allowed to Return to Iran After 6 Years
Iran's relaxation of ban may be a sign of limited liberalisation
The Iranian government has granted the BBC a licence to report in Iran for the first time in six year, it emerged Tuesday.
A crew from the British Broadcasting Corporation has been permitted to report on the nuclear deal reached between Iran and the international community last month in Geneva.
“This permit was issued by a joint committee of the Culture and Islamic Guidance Ministry, the Foreign Ministry and security organizations,” said Hossein Noushabadi, Iran’s Culture and Islamic Guidance Ministry spokesman according to Iranian media, “and they can only report on nuclear issues.”
