Iran cuts off access to Telegram's new voice call service
DEBKAfile was founded by a team of journalists in June 2000 as an independent Internet Web site, providing an intelligence and security news service. April 19, 2017, 2:31 PM (IDT)
Iran’s government has blocked access to the Telegram messaging app’s free encrypted voice calls just days after the new feature was introduced in the country. Telecommunications Minister Mahmoud Vaezi said the service was authorized on Friday “but it was blocked by a judicial order,” adding that those who want to know the reason “should ask the judiciary”. Telegram CEO Pavel Durov confirmed that the voice calls “have been completely blocked by the country’s internet providers and mobile operators”. He said Telegram has approximately 40 million active users in Iran, which has a population is about 80 million. The platform is popular because of its encryption and its option of formatting messages to automatically delete themselves. Twelve Iranians who ran reformist channels on Telegram were arrested in March.
Our unique angle on these subjects – and strong intelligence dimension – has earned DEBKAfile a global reputation and a steady readership – which skyrockets in times of crisis.
