On June 22, 2021, the US department of justice seized 33 Iranian websites, which they claimed were "spreading disinformation".[2][3] A statement by IRINN said, the move appeared to be part of a larger-scale crackdown by the U.S. on news websites linked to the “Axis of Resistance”.[4][5][6]
October 10, 2022[edit]
During the 2022 Iran Protests, a Hacktivist group called "Edalaat-e-Ali" hacked the News Network, targeting Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and showing 4 women who were victims of allegedly not covering their hair, especially Mahsa Amini, who were featured in the hacked footage scene during the news bulletin.[7]
