X Suspends Iran-Linked Tasnim News Accounts Over Security Concerns
X, a social media platform, stopped Tasnim News Agency’s accounts because they shared a video that might help people target former US First Lady Melania Trump.
Tasnim is a media outlet linked to Iran’s military group, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
X didn’t say exactly which rule Tasnim broke.
Iran says X is censoring its media.
The future of Tasnim’s accounts is still unclear.
X indefinitely suspended Tasnim News Agency’s English, Persian, and Arabic accounts over security concerns.
The suspension followed a video allegedly revealing security details about former US First Lady Melania Trump.
X did not disclose specific rule violations or reasons for the action.
Tasnim is a semi‑official Iranian outlet linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
Iran has criticized X for political censorship, while X cites security and rule violations.
