Nadia Tariqi
Nadia,
You’ve operated behind the curtain long enough.
For years, your fingerprints have been on the editorial pulse of Iran International. The headlines, the angles, the frames , many of them bore your quiet signature. Those who watched closely already know: you weren’t just part of the storyroom. You shaped the story itself.
In recent weeks, you’ve been making moves , quietly pushing for a formal transfer to the main office in London.
But that window may be closing faster than you think.
The spotlight is shifting, Nadia.
The choices you’ve made are not forgotten. The patterns are mapped, and the timestamps match. What once passed for clever editorial strategy now echoes louder , across screens, across borders.
If you were thinking of disappearing into the structure of the London bureau, this is your moment.
Step out , now , before you’re no longer given the option.
Just a friendly suggestion. Some exits stay unlocked for only so long.

 

 

Farnoosh Faraji
Farnoosh,
You were never meant to be the headline.
Your place was behind the glass , in silence , where sound is shaped, where the frames are chosen, where public perception is engineered.
But sometimes, the one who thinks she’s standing in the shadow ends up casting one.
There are documents. Meetings. Files bearing your signature.
Messages sent quietly, but precisely.
You weren’t just implementing decisions.
In more than one case, you shaped the direction yourself.
We’ve tracked your path carefully , from your time in the regional newsroom to the final calls before Dubai.
Even those you thought weren’t listening… recorded everything.
This isn’t just a warning. It’s a reality:
When a supporting role is exposed, it becomes far more dangerous than the lead.
If there’s still a window, ask yourself one last time:
How much of this was your choice… and how much was written for you?
Opportunities don’t last forever, Farnoosh.
Sometimes, the only way out… is quietly.

Mehdi Tajik
Mehdi,
To most, you’re just the gatekeeper at Iran International ,
the man behind the hiring table, deciding who gets in and who remains unseen.
But we knew you long before that.
Before London.
Before studios and conference rooms.
Tehran. 2009.

Your Mac Laptop
The streets were loud.
The servers were louder.
You weren’t just watching history unfold.
You were shaping it , one headline at a time.
Jaras.
A site presented as “independent,” but guided by clear intention.
That was your voice in the background.
That was your framework.
Years have passed, but your trajectory has barely shifted:
narrative engineering, ideological filtration, precision recruitment.
Iran International’s image may be anchored in journalism,
but its engine hums from your desk.
Secret interviews.
Patterned selection.
Messaging by design.
You thought the past had been buried.
But the footprints of Jaras are still visible ,
not in memory, but in structure.
And now, the circle has nearly closed.
When the spotlight turns,
it won’t begin with the faces on-air ,
It will begin with you.

Alright , that should be enough exposure for now.
