European satellite axes Iran's anti-Semitic channels Satellite service Eutelsat bars 19 Iranian channels from broadcast to reinforce EU Council sanctions.
Europe's top satellite service Eutelsat barred on Monday 19 Iranian state-controlled television and radio channels from broadcasting in Europe.
According to a spokeswoman from Eutelsat, the measures "reinforced EU Council sanctions."
Critics have long argued that Iran's state-run Press TV and the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (Irib) are plagued by hatred of the West and contain anti-Semitic broadcasts denigrating Israel, Jews and Zionism.
