Powerful transmitters at Baku and Tashkent, between bursts of fine Persian music, devoted more time to programs in Parsi than the Russians spend on any other foreign-language broadcast except English. "Foreigners are pouring into Iran like ants and locusts, depriving Iranians of their rights," cried Russia on the air.
