"Today, pursuant to court orders, the United States seized 33 websites used by the Iranian Islamic Radio and Television Union (IRTVU) and three websites operated by Kata'ib Hizballah (KH), in violation of U.S. sanctions," a DOJ statement said.  Iranian media confirmed that several state-linked news websites appeared "seized" by the U.S. government without any clear reason or explanation.  Among the sites abruptly taken offline were state television's English-language Press TV, its Arabic channel Al-Alam, and Yemeni Houthi rebels' Al-Masirah satellite news channel.
