Radio Navahang

Of the 20 stations in Iran with a page on this site, Radio Navahang is the one the directory records the most opens for. That makes it the default entry point to the country, and it is where the country hub starts its own list.

The open count here is 131, a figure only a few hundred stations in the whole directory reach. It is a fair signal that the stream is reliable as well as popular, because a dead stream stops accumulating opens quickly once clients start failing on it.

Radio Navahang broadcasts in Persian, which is the language most of Iran's stations in the directory use. The country's listing records two languages in total, so the Persian stations are the body of the dial rather than the whole of it.

Among 20 stations in Iran here, this is the only one that puts middle eastern music first. The middle eastern music rail below therefore leaves the country entirely, which is the more interesting direction to travel from a page like this.

The stream is served from navairan.com, which no other entry in Iran uses in this snapshot. Nothing else in the listing shares its fate: if this address stops answering it is this broadcaster's own outage, and if it plays, it plays.
