The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) responded to the blocking of its accounts on X, stating that the block proves X fears accurate information and coordination between free peoples. The IRGC also announced plans to launch a new, secure platform for direct communication, vowing that the block 'will never silence the voice of truth.'
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) issued a statement Thursday responding to the blocking of its accounts on X (formerly Twitter), accusing the platform of fearing the 'accurate information' of the Islamic nation and coordination between 'freedom-seeking peoples of the region.' The IRGC vowed that the block 'will never silence the voice of truth' and announced plans to launch a 'new, secure, and reliable platform' for direct communication with 'free nations.'
The statement comes amid a broader pattern of social media restrictions on IRGC-affiliated accounts. The Zioneer reported on July 29 that Telegram blocked the official IRGC spokesperson account, which the IRGC similarly framed as a sign of 'fear of Iran's enemies.' The IRGC has previously asserted that it will maintain its information dissemination efforts regardless of platform restrictions.
The timing and scope of the new platform's launch have not been specified.
