They must mean the broadcast feed into Iran, right?

Does anyone know if it's possible for a government to jam the satellite dish signal of a particular channel, if they don't have operational control of the transmission satellite - which I would presume Iran doesn't.

Hey Egypt, can you hear me now? Could this be the way Egypt uses its media? Only when the Mullahs say so?

I assume that we’re talking cable. When I was in China you could tell when CNN was running a segment about Falun gong cause the broadcast would go to “snow”.

Boy that will do a lot! NOT! I red somewhere that about 90% of young Iranians have internet access either at home or in the many cafes in Iran.I’m sure 99% of them had already heard or seen smething about this by the time to government tried to block it.

Maybe not the downlink, but likely the uplink.
