Among the targeted websites, there is Tehran’s state media agency Press TV that is the international English-language service of the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting.

Al-Alam is another news channel broadcasting from Iran in Arabic, Farsi and English.

Another victim is Al-Masirah that is owned by Ansar Allah (the Houthis) with headquartered in Beirut, Lebanon.

The US State Department is still to comment on blocking of the websites of TV channels.

“At the moment, we have nothing to say about this. Probably, the Ministry of Justice will soon provide some information on this issue”.

Until there are no official comments, the possibility of a cyber attack remains. At the same time, Washington has still a room for maneuver. If realizing the gravity of such a censorship, it may blame the attack on any “secret cyber group” and after that backpedal.

However, such a delayed response of the U.S. Ministry of Justice is a already a signal.

Probably, today, we are once again facing the new round of application of the Overton window approach regarding freedom of speech. Washington has consistently been moving towards this unprecedented step.

At first, disinformation campaigns, discrediting and blackmailing of independent media became the norm. Further, the persecution of journalists and editors became the common practice. Further, the Americans used to introduce personal and group sanctions, freezing ( in other words ‘stealing’) individual funds of undesirable persons. Further,  there were arrests and even kidnappings of those who went beyond the American agenda. Realizing their impunity, the White House started to block the independent media and objectionable news agencies. The Big Techs, controlled by the White House, began to scour the information space from content that, according to Washington, could pose a threat to the promotion of the interests of the American elites.

Since the above measures did not bring the desirable results, the Americans decided to take the next step and completely block domains of its ‘ foes ‘.

Thus, today, we can proclaim the death of global Internet. This is a signal to the whole world and an open declaration of US imperial dominance.

  2. PressTV.com seems to be working fine. Today its Breaking News is “Iran foils ‘act of sabotage’ against atomic organization building”

  3. It’s a stupid and spiteful move that has the potential to vastly increase press TV’s audience. Just tell people that they are not going to be allowed to see press.tv and everyone will want to find it. Just Chang it to a non U.S. URL and BINGO probltem solved…!!!!! I have read that there is already another way in you can use.

  4. I always enjoyed Press TV especially seeing our favorite rascal doing an interview. This kind of censorship coming behind the sars2 attack on humanity and the destruction of small business and the middle class gives us a preview of how bad life will get when the insane criminals finally takeover the world with impunity. Oh the lies we will get to hear. I can’t wait.

  5. You know who’s behind this when RT is still allowed to pump hate for Biden while saluting Trump and his Q-Anon theories.
