Iran Press/ America: US State Department spokesperson, Ned Price added that we periodically review the waiver to allow IRIB to continue broadcasting its satellite programs.
Earlier the US Secretary of State Antony Blinken waived sanctions on the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) channel, on Feb. 15, according to a non-public notice transmitted to Congress and obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
The waiver allows the IRIB to conduct financial transactions. The waiver comes less than a month after the Biden administration lifted sanctions on Iranian and Russian nuclear cooperation.
The sanctions waiver provides exemptions for anyone doing business with the IRIB, providing it access to global telecommunications infrastructure.
This includes "transactions involving the provision of ground connectivity services and fiber optic connections outside of Iran," as well as various satellite management transactions, according to the information contained in the waiver.
