RSF launches Persian-language radio frequency with RFPI to break Iran media blackout

On 2026-04-28, Reporters Without Borders (RSF), in partnership with Radio For Peace International, launched a new Persian-language shortwave radio frequency for audiences in Iran. The station is intended to deliver reliable, fact-checked news and counter the country's media blackout and censorship, according to RSF. The action responds to information restrictions in Iran rather than constituting the censorship itself.
