Radio Zamaneh (Persian: رادیو زمانه) is an Amsterdam-based Persian language exile news platform and former radio broadcaster with a leftist approach.[1][2] "Zamaneh" is the Persian literary term for "time".

Radio Zamaneh is an independent Persian-language exile media and former radio broadcaster that was founded in 2005, after the parliament of The Netherlands passed a resolution calling for support to free Iranian media. Radio Zamaneh is the recipient of various Human Rights and Press Freedom grants, with the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the European Union being amongst the major contributors. The broadcaster's content is provided by Radio Zamaneh's Persian-speaking, almost all Iranian editorial staff and contributors. Radio Zamaneh is an independent broadcasting organization, registered as a non-profit organization in the Netherlands, with its headquarters and studio in Amsterdam.

Radio Zamaneh, criticized by some as a leftist outlet with anti-Western biases, frequently criticizes NATO, the United States, and Israel. It has also been seen as pro-Russian by some.[1][2][3][4] Its founder, Farah Karimi, is a member of the Dutch Parliament and a former member of the MEK, and the last editor-in-chief until 2023, Mohammad Reza Nikfar, is a former member of the OIPFG.[5][6] Since October 2023, Iman Ganji has been the editor-in-chief of Radio Zamaneh. Most of his writings criticize the policies of Western countries and especially Israel as a racist, colonialist, genocidal and apartheid country.[7][8][9][10]
