'Truth power of Iran media scares US'

A Beirut-based political analyst tells Press TV Hispasat's decision to take Iran's Press TV and Hispan TV off the air indicates that the United States and the European countries are fed up with Iranian channels' truth-telling to the people of the world.


In another blow to freedom of speech, one more European satellite provider has attacked Iran's international TV channels. Spain's satellite provider Hispasat has taken Iran's Press TV and Hispan TV off the air in a blatant violation of freedom of speech. It has ordered Overon, another satellite company, to stop the transmission of the two international TV channels. Overon says the ban on Press TV and Hispan TV follows a similar move by France's Eutelsat Company which has already taken several Iranian satellite channels and radio stations off the air. It says the channels will be removed because of "a wider interpretation of EU regulations".
