AI Summary

The Persian service of Voice of America (VOA), recently revamped under President Trump's administration, is reportedly censoring coverage of Reza Pahlavi, the exiled Crown Prince of Iran. Pahlavi has been instrumental in mobilizing protests against the Iranian government, which gained momentum earlier this month. Sources within VOA indicate that Ali Javanmardi, the adviser in charge of the Persian service, is restricting information about Pahlavi, raising concerns about media freedom and the implications for Iranian expatriates. This censorship could impact how the Iranian diaspora engages with ongoing political developments in their homeland.
