[71396] Satellite channel "Manoto" (Manzouto) announces final closure

End of an era: The "Manoto" television network ceases its operations

The Persian satellite television network "Manoto" officially announced on May 22, 2026, the end of its broadcasts. According to reports, the Pezeshkian Supporters Telegram channel noted that the network issued a statement according to which its final broadcast will take place on June 3, 2026, after which the network will cease to exist.

This announcement comes following a wave of reports on Iranian social networks. Channels such as اخبارفوری خبرفوری جنگ امریکا فوری and خبرفوری | اخبارجنگ فوری آمریکا, which report on foreign affairs and current events under a critical orientation, emphasized that the network "has announced once again the end of its broadcasts and the closure of its operations." Similar reports appeared in خبرفوری ࡆ اخبارفوری مذاکره ࡆ جنگ فوری, خبرفوری‌نیوز | اخبار جنگ | حمله امریکا, and اخبار فوری ایران و آمریکا™ | جنگ | NEWS.

While some sources presented the news as "another farewell," the official announcement cited by the Pezeshkian Supporters channel – a channel identified with supporters of the reformist camp in Iran – lends validity to the final closure date. The network, which broadcasted from outside Iran, served for years as a center for political and social discussions among the Persian-speaking community, and its closure marks a prominent change in the landscape of Iranian media in exile.
