.@PressTV’s website has been seized by the US government. Look at these gangsters. This is America’s so called “freedom of speech” and “democracy”. The United States is a criminal org. They’re scared of anti-imperialist and pro-Palestinian outlets so they shut them down. Cowards.
Apparently my show and those of my colleagues are an “unusual and extraordinary threat”. Lol. The United States’ attempts to silence the resistance axis are so preposterous.

What gives the United States the right to decide what the rest of the world can consume, and delete a website in Iran, with all my work for TV and the tireless work of my colleagues? This just proves our point about America's criminal, imperialist behavior.
The fact Biden uses the National Emergency Law to silence Press TV and other Arab and Muslim networks just shows how scared they are of anyone criticizing the US. They don't want anyone to know the truth, anywhere. What cowards lol.
There is a backup mirror of Press TV that exists on the .ir domain (not the .com domain which has just been stolen). My latest broadcast on the Iranian elections as well as my episodes on Assange, sanctions and many more topics can be found here:

presstv.ir/Section/150102
Press TV is not the only website targeted. Other Iranian, Iraqi and Yemeni outlets have also been taken down. This is an attack on journalists, on foreign press and on the Axis of Resistance. The US silences its critics well outside its own borders, whether in England or Iran.
If the US govt is trying to silence you you're probably doing something right. It's still extremely egregious and an affront on the press but I'm going to take it as a badge of honor. Will be going live shortly to discuss

Israel is bombing Syria's capital Damascus right now, violating Lebanese airspace to do it; Syrian air defence systems are responding. This is such a common occurrence (virtually every week) the media can't be bothered to mention it half the time.
The israelis and their media lapdogs think that if they keep screaming it's "Hezbollah and Iranian targets!" then that suddenly makes it okay for them to bomb anyone they like. This is just propaganda by oppressors and colonizers. Their goal is to keep Syria unstable.
By their own admissions, the israelis have bombed Syria hundreds of times in the last years since the war began in 2011. Syria supports Palestine and the Axis of Resistance. They are illegally occupying the Golan Heights and punishing Syria by keeping it in chaos from the South.

Breaking: Israeli media report sirens have gone off near Dimona, where an israeli nuclear facility lies. Jerusalem residents reported hearing a loud explosion- likely from patriot missile systems responding to a rocket attack but this is unconfirmed. Story is still developing

WATCH: Iran Responds to Israeli Attack on Natanz Nuclear Facility

Image
The centrifuges damaged by israel were the older, first generation IR-1s. They've been replaced by the newer IR-6 generation. Iran also announced it will add another 1000 centrifuges to the Natanz facility and successfully enriched uranium to 60%.
Israel is a reckless, unhinged terrorist entity that thinks blowing up nuclear facilities and killing scientists is acceptable. Imagine if Iran did that to them. We'd never hear the end of it.

WATCH: Cop Who Shot Jacob Blake 7 Times, Paralyzing Him, Given Job Back

Image
Anyone who empties a clip at point blank into someone's back is the definition of trigger-happy. That's not policing.
I don't buy this excuse that police can potentially murder or paralyze someone over a pocket knife. Here's police in London disarming a man with a machete and no one is killed. There are always other ways to handle these situations they just don't care.

American media is not only bought and owned by corporations, who have a profit incentive– it's purposely designed to make people dumb and ignorant on virtually every issue.
Imagine if they spent just 1% of the air time covering Palestine, Yemen, or any issue of substance with honesty instead of recycling this garbage about Russian bounties or fear mongering about China. It's incorrigible.
Don't get me wrong, the British tabloid press is equally rank, but given the magnitude of American corporate media they definitely take the cake in many regards. Although the BBC are never far behind lol.

Officials need to stop asking people to be calm and suspects to be calm and start asking the police to be calm instead. Yelling and drawing guns is not serving a community, that's oppression and terrorism. The word "deescalation" doesn't even exist in their vocabulary.
People resist arrest all the time in the UK that doesn't mean the police can kill them. Some of them are violent, drunk or on drugs too. Still doesn't mean the police can kill them. There are so many different ways you can handle a situation without taking someone's life.
UK has its own issues with race and violence, but the fact most police are unarmed it forces them to take a different approach. Can't be shooting first and asking questions later, this is insanity.
