Social media platform X has indefinitely suspended the official accounts of Tasnim News Agency, a semi-official Iranian media outlet linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).


The suspension, which took place late on Wednesday, July 29, removed Tasnim’s English-, Persian- and Arabic-language accounts from public access.


Users attempting to visit the profiles are met with a notice stating: “Account suspended. X suspends accounts which violate the X Rules.”


X has not publicly disclosed the specific reason for the action or identified which platform rules were allegedly violated.
