Press-TV writes that originally the plan was aimed at launching Persian-language TV channels to overthrow the Iranian government through media propaganda.
Political opponents forced the Dutch government to finally revise its plans and substitute a series of websites instead of the planned opposition TV channels.
IRNA also revealed the names of some websites.
In the years 2007 and 2008 came similar accusations.(See wikipedia (Dutch) radio Zamaneh).
