The Guardian reported on Friday that Press TV, the English-language news outlet operated by Iran’s clerical regime since 2007, was stripped of its license for violating broadcasting regulations.

According to the Guardian, the satellite television broadcast service failed to pay a £100,000 fine for showing an interview with “Maziar Bahari, an imprisoned Newsweek journalist, that had been conducted under duress.” Ofcom, the British communications regulatory agency, further justified its decision to revoke Press TV’s license because of its “practice of running its editorial oversight from Tehran, Iran‘s capital, is in breach of broadcasting licence rules in the UK.”
