Tehran Times marches on after 32 years

May 9, 2011 - 0:0

The Tehran Times was established in order to inform the world about the facts about the Islamic Revolution.

It was founded only a few months after the victory of the Islamic Revolution, led by the late Imam Khomeini, the Founder of the Islamic Republic.
The Tehran Times was the first English daily that appeared on almost all the newsstands of Tehran and also in other cities of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
The Tehran Times was established by just a few people, who invested all their energy in the project. Fortunately, they succeeded in their mission.
The real difficulty for the owners of the newspaper was money for the investment. However, they had a small amount of money and bought typewriters, furniture, and other necessary material to publish the daily.
It had its first office on Fatemi Avenue, which was only two small rooms.
But the number of employees increased and the office of the daily was moved to Jam Street.
The office was then moved to one place and then another on Iranshahr St. and finally it was moved to Bimeh Lane.
The Islamic Ideology Dissemination Organization provided great assistance to the daily.
And today, after 32 years, it is still the leading English daily in Iran.
