Iran destroys 100,000 satellite dishes and receivers
Iran destroyed 100,000 satellite dishes and receivers on Sunday as part of a crackdown against the illegal devices that authorities say are morally damaging. The destruction of the dishes and receivers took place in Tehran in the presence of General Mohammad Reza Naghdi, head of Iran’s Basij militia. "The truth is that most satellite [television] channels ... deviate the society’s morality and culture," he said, according to the Basij News website. "What these televisions really achieve is increased divorce, addiction and insecurity in society."
