Iran alleges that the U.S. State Department seized the websites of some of the country’s major news networks, hours after a message on several state-run Iranian news websites claimed they were “seized by the United States Government,” the Islamic Republic of Iran News Network said in a statement on its website.
The statement alleges the move was part of a larger-scale crackdown by the U.S. government on news websites linked to what Iran calls the ‘Axis of Resistance’, which includes Syria, Hezbollah, some Iraqi militias and Hamas.
