Press TV is an English language website run by Iran. The network has been repeatedly accused of anti-Semitism and even holocaust denial. The UK revoked its license to broadcast back in 2012 after the network ran clips from the coerced confession of an Iranian-Canadian journalist. More recently, Google has blocked access to some of the network’s YouTube accounts. Today if you visit the Press TV website what you’ll see is this statement announcing that the site has been seized by the U.S. government.
According to the Associated Press, that’s just one of several dozen domains that have been seized in connection with a case that is still unannounced:
