The British Broadcasting Corp. says someone is jamming and deliberately disrupting its broadcasts in the Middle East and Europe. Previously it blamed Iran for jamming the signals. The BBC and other broadcasters says they have experienced "deliberate, intermittent interference". It has effected BBC World News, BBC Arabic television channels and BBC World Service radio broadcast in English and Arabic. International broadcasters have pointed the finger at Iran for its increasing intimidation of foreign media and accelerating efforts to jam satellite broadcasts from reaching Iranian audiences.
