The Buzz | Iran to partially allow BBC to report for a week

An Iranian government official says the Islamic Republic will allow some BBC journalists to report there for a week’s time. The BBC had no immediate comment in London.
Culture Ministry spokesman Hossein Nooshabadi told AP yesterday that a team of journalists will be allowed to report. The spokesman said the BBC’s Persian-language service was still banned from operating in the country.
Iran stopped the BBC Persian service from operating in the country in 2009, then later expelled a World Service journalist from the country during turmoil surrounding its disputed 2009 presidential election.
