Iran sanctioned by U.S. on “Iron Curtain” internet censorship

The U.S. State Department has announced sanctions on Iran over its national Internet plans and countless censorship of dissidents in the country, including Iran’s Communications and Tech ministry.

Iran recently announced that they have blocked email and search providers, including Facebook and YouTube, probably to test its national Internet, or Intranet (closed network).

This is possibly one of the first sanctions by the U.S. over Iran’s censoring of the web on political opponents and dissidents.
