Well the ONS (which is a part of the UK govt) has been detailing the all cause mortality rate and detailing how and why those numbers differ from the official PHE numbers. The ONS releases its findings to the press, and the BBC is just one of many that report on these figures. As far as I am aware there is no such thing happening in Iran. So in the case of the UK the BBC is saying that UK govt response has been poor, and in the case of Iran that there is a "cover up". I would have thought that was bordering on a reasonable job of reporting the facts.
