5. TV CHANNELS OF
IRAN
A list of Iranian TV channels. All popular TV channels in Iran
have been included. In this day and age, virtually every
country has its own set of television networks. TV originally
evolved from radio, and up until the last few decades,
virtually all television content was broadcast over the air.
Today, cable and satellite providers directly broadcast much
of what is watched. Programming can be created both in
house, or by a studio or other production facility that is
sometimes directly affiliated with the station. Television
shows can also be imported (and exported) to other
countries, often through syndication. While satellite and
cable currently take all the glory, over-the-air broadcasting is
not being left behind as many countries are making the
switch from analogue to digital broadcasts.

11. NON VERBAL
COMMUNİCATİON
Body contact and free posture and behavior are not perceived as ice breakers in Iranian
culture, but a custom of samimiyat (intimacy) alone. Therefore, demonstrations of conviviality
and gregariousness between non-intimates are not generally effective vis-à-vis Iranian
interlocutors (especially within groups). Such gestures (pats on the back, frivolous body
contact) are perceived as carrying a patronizing message.114 When employed towards
senior officials in the presence of their subordinates, it may have a demeaning effect
(presenting the senior Iranian as intimate or inferior to the foreigner).
Head and hand gestures in Iranian culture differ somewhat from most Western models. For
example, raising the head (a half nod) has a meaning of disagreement or dissatisfaction,
while lowering the head is an expression of affirmation; a Western- style thumbs up is an
obscene gesture; holding one's head down and placing the hand on the heart with a slight
bow is a sign of acknowledgement of the other party's social pre-eminence. Iranians,
however, do not expect foreigners to copy Iranian etiquette.

12. CULTURE OF IRAN
LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE
• Several languages are spoken in different regions of Iran.
The predominant language and national language is Persian,
which is spoken across the country. Azeri is spoken
primarily in the northwest, Kurdish primarily in the west,
Arabic primarily in the Persian Gulf coastal regions, Balochi
primarily in the east and Turkmen primarily in northern
border regions.
• Persian literature inspired Goethe, Ralph Waldo Emerson,
and many others, and it has been often dubbed as a most
worthy language to serve as a conduit for poetry. Dialects of
Persian are sporadically spoken throughout the region from
China to Syria to Russia, though mainly in the Iranian
Plateau.

13. RELIGION OF IRAN
Today of the 98% of Muslims living in Iran, around 89%
are Shi’a and only around 9% are Sunni.This is quite the
opposite trend of the percentage distribution of Shi’a to
Sunni Islam followers in the rest of the Muslim population
from state to state (primarily in the Middle East) and
throughout the rest of the world.
