Iran's Supreme Leader calls for cyberspace regulation, referencing global trends and site shutdowns.

Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has called for the regulation of cyberspace, citing global trends and the arrest of Telegram founder Pavel Durov in France as an example. Iran has strict internet controls, often blocking social media platforms and charging users based on shared posts. The country ranked third globally in shutdowns in 2023, according to Access Now. Khamenei's remarks come despite President Masoud Pezeshkian's campaign promises to ease internet restrictions in Iran.
