Report: Iran says Twitter ready to talk on unblocking site
TEHRAN, Iran — Iran’s new telecommunications minister says Twitter is ready to talk about unblocking access to the microblogging site.
The state-owned IRAN newspaper quoted Mohammad Javad Azari Jahromi on Tuesday as saying Twitter has “officially announced readiness to talk with Iran for resolving the problems.”
San Francisco-based Twitter declined to comment.
Iran blocked the site, along with Facebook and YouTube, after mass protests and violence over the 2009 re-election of hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
