3 Aug 2014 - 18:27


TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iran’s Intelligence Ministry said on Sunday it has closed the sites of a number of foreign-based satellite channels for their involvement in “secret and illegal” activities.
According to the Intelligence Ministry’s statement, those channels, whose bases are located in the US and Britain, had illegally established production bureaus in four Iranian provinces.
The channels’ Iran sites were identified and closed and their crew have been arrested following a warrant issued by the Judicial authorities, it added.

The ministry explained that the channels worked in line with the objectives of certain foreign intelligence services and served the interests of the global arrogance.

They worked secretly and illegally to “create sectarian differences and intensify division in the Islamic world and to damage the image of Shiism,” it noted.
