that the US Department of Justice has just seized a number of websites
of Iranian, Palestinian, Yemeni, Iraqi news channels.

According to the reports, at the moment, the list of victims of U.S.
‘democratic move’ includes:

    PressTV (Iran)

    In what seems to be a coordinated action, a similar message
appears on the websites of Iranian and regional television networks
that claims the domains of the websites have been “seized by the
United States Government.” pic.twitter.com/JloU56LvpL

Today, we are once again facing the new round of application of the
Overton window approach regarding freedom of speech.

Washington has consistently been moving towards this unprecedented step.

At first, disinformation campaigns, discrediting and blackmailing of
independent media became the norm. Further, the persecution of
journalists and editors became the common practice. Further, the
Americans used to introduce personal and group sanctions, freezing (
in other words ‘stealing’) individual funds of undesirable persons.
Further,  there were arrests and even kidnappings of those who went
beyond the American agenda. Realizing their impunity, the White House
started to block the independent media and objectionable news
agencies. The Big Techs, controlled by the White House, began to scour
the information space from content that, according to Washington,
could pose a threat to the promotion of the interests of the American
elites.

Since the above measures did not bring the desirable results, the
Americans decided to take the next step and completely block domains
of its ‘ foes ‘.

This, as SouthFront concludes, is a signal to the whole world and an
open declaration of US imperial dominance.

More practically, it's also a signal that the US-Iran deal talks are
about to be a dismal failure and that this may be a great time to buy
oil.
