Summary of complaint
We received complaints from people who were unhappy that Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ News broadcast some of Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s speech as he led Friday Prayers in Tehran on 4 October.
Our response
The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ News channel took rare footage from Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's first address of Friday Prayers in five years as part of analysis and scrutiny on the contents of the speech.
As Iran’s involvement in the conflict has intensified, it is important and editorially relevant to hear from the key players to aid understanding of developments.
Our journalists, including colleagues from Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Persian, provided context and explanation for audiences.
