Nasrallah Slams US Of Seizing Iranian-Linked News Website Domains
Earlier this week, the US Justice Department seized 36 Iranian-linked news website domains. They claimed that those websites were spreading disinformation as the tensions between Tehran and Washington continue to escalate.
The Justice Department said that out of 36 websites, 33 were owned by a US-based company and were used by the Iraninan Islamic Radio and Television Union (IRTVU). The department accused IRTVU of being components of the Iranian government that further targeted the United States with disinformation campaigns and other false influence operations.
The remaining other three seized websites were (reportedly) operated by one of the main Iran-aligned Iraqi militia groups, Kata’ib Hizballah. The group was declared as a foreign terrorist organisation by the US, more than a decade ago.
Following which, Nasrallah slammed the US Justice department for seizing the Iranian-linked news website domains. He said that the move makes it clear that Washington’s claims for freedom are false.
