Twitter has blocked the account of Iran's Tasnim news agency, a semi-official outlet closely affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), according to reports. The block follows similar platform actions against IRGC-linked accounts, including the blocking of the IRGC's official Telegram account on Wednesday.
The move comes a day after Telegram blocked the official account of the IRGC's spokesperson office, as The Zioneer reported. Tasnim News Agency is a semi-official Iranian media outlet closely affiliated with the IRGC, serving as a primary channel for the regime's strategic messaging and military announcements. The reason for the Twitter block was not immediately clear, and neither Twitter nor the IRGC have commented. The report is based on a single source.
