Head of IRIB admits to satellite jamming

“In a surprise confession, Ezatollah Zarghami, Head of state-run Iranian Broadcast Company, during a speech on Thursday to a group of war veterans, admitted that Iranian government indeed sends illegal satellite jamming signals against foreign broadcast satellites. Zarghami lamented: ‘Our own Alalam (Arabic broadcast by Iran) was removed from Nile Sat and Arab Sat in retaliation of our (own government’s) jamming signals targeting these satellites.’”
