The Iranian authorities have started to block the BBC's Persian language internet site, for the first time.
The BBC says the level of traffic to the site from within Iran has dropped sharply over the last three days.
No official explanation has been given. The BBC has expressed concern at the action, saying it deprives many Iranians of a trusted source of news.
The BBC said it would be approaching the Iranian government at an official level about re-instating access.
