Iranian.com is a website that hosts blogs, news, and commentaries by and for the Iranian diaspora. Founder Jahanshah Javid started the website because journalists and the media are assiduously censored in Iran.
When Javid started the website in 1995, he called it The Iranian (after The New Yorker). It has been called Iranian.com since 2004.
The site has historically generated revenues through donations, Google AdSense, advertisers and sponsors like World Singles Networks.
On April 24, 2012, Javid announced that he was pursuing a new venture, and that he had sold his remaining shares to his partner, entrepreneur Saïd Amin.
Amin later converted the site from a blogging platform, to a business directory and classified advertisements website.
