Canada’s Banning Press TV Deprives the Iranian Regime of a Key Tentacle in its Propaganda Toolbox

After nearly a month of anti-regime protests in Iran following the death of Mahsa Amini, a young Iranian woman arrested for allegedly improperly wearing her hijab, the demonstrations show no sign of stopping. And that’s meant increasing pressure on governments like Canada’s to take action. On October 7, the Trudeau government announced it was sanctioning Press TV, the official broadcast mouthpiece of the Islamic Republic of Iran. And while it represents an important step, it should not be the end of Canadian sanctions on Iran’s regime.
