The US has seized 92 web domains used by Iran, including four which purported to be genuine English language news sites…Four of them, with the domain names “newsstand7.com”, “usjournal.net”, “usjournal.us”, and “twtoday.net”, were “operated by or on behalf” of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to influence United States domestic and foreign policy…
The article included an interesting factoid; to wit:

Interesting?
