"Aren't you ashamed to call yourselves Voice of America? Call it Voice of the Islamic Republic!"
In this clip, Iraj Mesdaghi names names and pulls no punches on VOA's Persian service:
▪️ He holds specific editors accountable — Leili Soltani and Reza Nejat — and says they must not be let off the hook.
▪️ This isn't about Prince Reza Pahlavi, he argues — it's about US policy, the White House's interests, and the interests of the American people.
▪️ American taxpayers are funding platforms where guests attack the very policy that pays for them.
▪️ His verdict on one flagship show: "Midan is an IRGC program."
▪️ "I told them from day one: you are the Voice of the Islamic Republic. They invited me. I said I will not set foot there."
A sharp, quotable takedown of who gets a microphone — and who pays for it.
