After the illegitimate seizing of the “Alghadeer satellite channel” website, US authorities have seized the web domains of many international media outlets Al-Malomah news agency, Press TV, and Al-Alam, along with the Yemeni TV channel Al Masirah.
Visitors to the domains were shocked on Tuesday with a notice that they were seized under US laws that allow civil and criminal forfeiture of property involved in “trafficking in nuclear, chemical, biological, or radiological weapons technology or material, or the manufacture, importation, sale, or distribution of a controlled substance!”

This comes after a series of American cyberattacks on many news outlets worldwide to muzzle mouths that oppose American policies, thus confirming cowboy’s bullying policy and confiscating the rights of others, and stifling freedoms in the world, and following the policy of “electronic terrorism.”
Washington’s move comes just a day after the newly elected Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi urged the US to lift all sanctions on Tehran and rejoin the 2015 nuclear deal, negotiated by the Obama administration but unilaterally repudiated by President Donald Trump in 2018.
Raisi called on the US to “live up to your commitments” in the deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
