The station has been giving extensive coverage to anti-regime demonstrations that erupted in Iran five months ago.
PRIVATE NETWORK IRAN International TV said today that it had been forced on UK police advice to shut down its London studios, blaming a surge in threats from the protest-hit regime in Iran.
In November, the Met installed concrete barriers outside the studios in west London, to prevent any attack by vehicle. “I cannot believe it has come to this,” he said, adding that 24-hour broadcasts were continuing from the station’s offices in Washington. The decision was taken late last night, the station said, following the arrest last Saturday of Austrian national Magomed-Husejn Dovtaev, 30.
“This has led to us giving further advice and the company is now relocating,” it said, adding that its advice was “exceptional” and not “given lightly”. The TV station’s relocation is likely to stoke calls in the UK parliament for the government to get tougher with Iran, even as London and its Western allies try to coax Tehran back to an agreement on limiting its nuclear programme, which was scuppered in 2018 by former US president Donald Trump.
