The Department of Justice announced Thursday that they had seized 13 website domains, including those of the Iran-backed group’s al-Manar television, and that of senior officials and affiliated charities. Washington has listed the Iran-backed group as a terrorist organization, and has slapped sanctions on its members, associates, and affiliated businesses and charities.
