flag U.S. reinstates VOA Persian staff amid Iran-Israel tensions to counter disinformation.

The U.S. is bringing back Voice of America's (VOA) Persian-language staff in response to the growing conflict between Iran and Israel. This move reverses the Trump administration's decision to put many of these employees on leave, aiming to provide accurate information to Iran's population and counter the Iranian regime's disinformation. Critics have expressed concerns about the cost and impact on U.S. credibility due to the administration's previous cutbacks.
