U.S. takes down .com domain of Iranian Tasnim News Agency website

The United States has taken down the .com domain of the Iranian state-aligned Tasnim News Agency website, which is closely affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). This action was carried out under the authority of the FBI, resulting in the domain no longer belonging to Iran.

This development aligns with ongoing tensions between the U.S. and Iran, as previously reported in related coverage. The U.S. government has been actively targeting entities associated with the IRGC, which is designated as a terrorist organization by the U.S.

The removal of the domain is part of broader efforts by the U.S. to counter Iranian influence and activities that are perceived as threatening to national security. The Tasnim News Agency has been known for disseminating information that supports the Iranian government and its military operations.
