BBC Monitoring is reporting that the broadcasting of all Iranian satellite TV channels over Africa has been suspended.
Iran blamed satellite operator Arabsat, and used the main evening’s nightly news bulletin to say that Arabsat was behind the move.
However, Iran’s own Ambassador to Tunisia said the real reason was that “the cost of renting a satellite has not been paid”.
