Tehran (ISNA) - Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh stressed on Wednesday that the US seizure of the domains of IRIB websites is an example of US systematic effort to disrupt freedom of expression and make silent the independent voices in media space.

Khatibzadeh's comments came hours after the United States seized domains owned by Iranian websites affiliated to Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB).

"The continuation of such double standards by Washington is shameful," he said.

"The current US administration has exactly followed the path of the previous US administration, and this policy will only lead to a double defeat for Washington," the spokesman stressed.

"Iran rejects this illegal and bullying act and we will follow up the case through legal channels," he went on to say.
