This article have been studied the representation of internal changes in1388 (2009)   in Iran by BBCPersian. In this article we have tried to explore the dominant discourse represented, as well as the process and dimensions of making news by the channel, although we have attempted to explain the methods which are used  in the form of media professionals discourse as well as dimensions of hegemonic discourse of the media, to make induced discourses for audience. The main issues which have been made by BBC Persian in 1388(2009) are as followed: making believe that violations of both human rights and civil liberties has happened in Iran , making believe that the Iranian government are inefficient , trying to Strengthen the opposition and making deeper political divisions in Iran, treating Iran to read its nuclear program, seeing the election as the chance for changing the regime , trying to make the religious discourse weaker, making believe that BBC Persian is an objective media, making believe that there was a frude election in Iran, creating anti regime excitement among Iranian ethnics and religious minorities . In this article we try to explain these issues by investigating the program and news reports of BBC Persian TV Channel. It seems that the main indications of BBC Persian discourse toward Iran in 1388(2009) has been the legitimacy crisis of Islamic Republic of Iran and Iranian threats.
