Voice of America’s (VOA) Persian-language service continued broadcasting inside Iran on Saturday despite sweeping communication restrictions imposed by the regime, a spokesperson confirmed to Fox News.

VOA — the U.S. government-funded international broadcaster overseen by the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM) — appeared to air Persian-language coverage of the U.S.-Israeli military campaign known as "Operation Epic Fury," the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, remarks from President Donald Trump, and other major developments.

In a post on X, USAGM said VOA was amplifying President Donald Trump’s message about the operation across its global platforms, sharing images of his statement translated into multiple languages, including Korean and Kurdish.

"Voice of America is carrying President Trump’s message about Operation Epic Fury across all language services," USAGM wrote. "The brave people of Iran are hearing him — and so are citizens living under oppressive regimes around the world."

Founded in 1942 to counter Nazi propaganda, VOA now delivers news in 49 languages to a weekly global audience of more than 361 million people, according to the organization's website.

VOA launched its Persian-language programming in 1979. The service "confronts the disinformation and censorship efforts of the Iranian regime and enhances U.S. efforts to speak directly to the Iranian people," its website states.

All broadcast media in Iran is state-controlled and promotes official government policy and ideology. While private satellite dishes are illegal, foreign-based Persian-language satellite channels attract a large viewership, according to BBC News.

The broadcasts come as Iranian authorities intensify their crackdown on journalism and digital communications. 

Officials have imposed a near-total internet blackout — similar to restrictions enacted during protests last month — with national connectivity reportedly dropping to roughly 4%, The Jerusalem Post reported.

At least seven journalists have also been arrested since the latest wave of protests began in December, which were sparked by economic collapse and inflation reportedly soaring to 60%, according to Reporters Without Borders.

Earlier this week, the CIA stepped into the information battle. 

On Tuesday, the agency published a Persian-language video on its X account urging Iranian dissidents to make secure contact with the CIA amid renewed anti-government demonstrations.

The U.S. Agency for Global Media did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

Iranian Ambassador to the United Nations Amir-Saeid Iravani condemned U.S. strikes against Iran at the U.N. Security Council meeting on Saturday that had targeted the country’s military leadership and killed Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, calling the attack a double standard and promising the country would defend itself.

Iravani accused the U.S. of undermining its claims of pursuing international stability while attacking a sovereign country for its "domestic" activities.

"Neither the charter nor international law recognize internal matters of a state as justification for the use of force by other states. The rule of law would be replaced by the rule of force," Iravani said.

"Iran will continue to exercise its right of self-defense decisively and without hesitation until the aggression ceases in full and unequivocal terms," he added.

On Saturday morning, President Donald Trump ordered the execution of Operation Epic Fury, citing Tehran’s continued efforts to develop a nuclear weapon.

"It has always been the policy of the United States, in particular my administration, that this terrorist regime can never have a nuclear weapon. I'll say it again. They can never have a nuclear weapon," Trump said in remarks about the attack on Saturday.

Trump said the strikes were meant to "defend the American people by eliminating imminent threats from the Iranian regime" and that they had come after Iran had refused to abandon plans to develop nuclear capabilities.

Irvani called the attack a continuation of longstanding U.S. aggression against Iran.

"Mr. president, this morning the United States regime, jointly and in coordination with the Israeli regime, initiated an unprovoked and premeditated aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran for the second time in recent months," Irvani said, referring to strikes the U.S. carried out against its nuclear enrichment facilities last year.

"The president of the United States and the Prime Minister of the Israeli regime have openly claimed responsibility for this act of aggression and have explicitly articulated regime change as their objective. An unmistakable admission of their intent to violate Iran's sovereignty and territorial integrity."

U.N. Ambassador Mike Waltz pushed back on Iravani's characterizations.

"For 47 years, the Iranian regime has chanted, quote, ‘Death to America’ at every turn, at every opening, it has sought to eradicate the state of Israel. It has waged an unending campaign of bloodshed and mass murder," Waltz said.

Iravani did not address the negotiations between the U.S. and Iran on its nuclear development plans.
