Which service is funded by the US government for broadcasting to audiences in the Middle East?

The correct choice is Radio Farda, which is a part of the U.S. government-funded broadcasting entity known as the Voice of America (VOA). It specifically focuses on providing news and information to audiences in Iran. Funded by the U.S. government, Radio Farda aims to deliver content that reflects American values and provides news that might be censored or unavailable in regions where freedom of the press is limited.

Other options such as Al Jazeera, Al-Arabiya, and Radio Dijla are not funded by the U.S. government. Al Jazeera and Al-Arabiya are leading Arabic news networks based in Qatar and the UAE respectively, operating independently and not reliant on U.S. funding. Radio Dijla primarily serves Iraq and is not associated with U.S. government funding either. This makes Radio Farda the only service among the options that directly aligns with the U.S. government's objectives in broadcasting.
