The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) Persian mistranslated part of Secretary of War Pete Hegseth’s speech Monday on Iran, making it appear that the United States was targeting the Iranian “people” rather than the Iranian “regime.”
During BBC Persian’s broadcast of the war secretary’s speech to audiences inside Iran, the network mistranslated the word “regime” as “mardom,” which means “people” in Persian.
This mix-up led audiences to believe the Iranian people were being targeted by the U.S., when, in reality, Hegseth had said the Iranian regime was being targeted by American forces.
The BBC "mistakenly" altered a speech by Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth on the war in Iran, making him appear to say the United States was targeting the Iranian "people".
This comes only a handful of months since they did the same to President Trump.
