Revelations by Whistle-blower website Wiki-leaks show that officials under former U-S Secretary of State Hillary Clinton expressed great joy over Eutelsat Communications’ decision to stop broadcasting Iranian channels.

The revelations pertain to parts of Clinton’s leaked emails which were published in late February 2016. In a letter sent to Clinton in June 2012, senior State Department officials described Eutelsat Communications’ move as great news. The European satellite provider pulled 19 Iranian television and radio channels off the air in that year. Eutelsat said the move was in line with European sanctions and a French regulatory decision. The IRIB condemned the ban saying it was imposed due to political pressure from the U-S and Israel to block the truth about Islamic movements in the Middle East.

Emails exchanged between two high-ranking officials of US Department of State under former secretary, Hillary Clinton, show that they had rejoiced over a decision by the French-based satellite provider, Eutelsat SA, to ban Iranian satellite channels from European airwaves.

On March 16, 2016, whistleblowing website WikiLeaks released emails sent in 2012 by Clinton’s deputy chief of staff and director of policy planning, Jake Sullivan, and Dana Shell Smith, the principal deputy assistant secretary of public affairs.

In an email sent on June 29, 2012 with the subject "Eutelsat drops contracts with the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB)," Sullivan said, “Good stuff.”



Meanwhile, in another email, Smith reacted to Eutelsat’s ban on Iranian media by writing, “Great news!!”

On March 16, 2016, WikiLeaks launched a searchable archive for 30,322 emails and email attachments sent to and from Hillary Clinton's private email server while she was secretary of state.

The 50,547 pages of documents span a period from June 30, 2010 to August 12, 2014. Some 7,570 of the documents were sent by Hillary Clinton.

The emails were made available in the form of thousands of PDFs by the US State Department as a result of a Freedom of Information Act request. The final PDFs were made available on February 29, 2016.
