It was being used to transmit US TV and radio programmes into Iran.
The move coincides with the start of an on-going program of transmissions by the US Voice of America, in an attempt to "give Iranian audiences more truthful, objective news than is available through state-controlled media".
Iran is unable to jam the Telstar-12 satellite on its own, but with the help of a Russian-built electronic-intelligence facility located near Havana it is able to do so. They are also able to launch denial-of-service attacks against other US systems.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

1: and the american media isnt state controlled how?
2: great. they confuse us further by nixing metric and imperial. its not the quantity that matters, its the placing. you could place those 3 pounds of dynamite in the middle of a field, explodes them and only hurt a few flies, or you could plac them at strategic points in the basement of a large office clock and kill thousands.
3: they dont rob it, they mob it. I think i might go along to the next one...

Because I can start a newspaper in my basement and distribute it on my own without fear of government intervention.
Try that in Iran.
