🇮🇷 YouTube just wiped out dozens of channels tied to sanctioned Iranian individuals and organizations.
The removals reportedly targeted accounts linked to Fars News Agency, Babak Zanjani, Ali Akbar Velayati, Al-Mustafa International University, and several Iranian institutions under U.S. sanctions.
Iranian crypto exchange channels were also hit, including Nobitex, Wallex, Ramzinex, and Bitpin, with thousands of subscribers between them.
The issue is bigger than content moderation: some of these channels were reportedly running ads, raising questions over sanctions compliance.
Now U.S. tech platforms appear to be tightening the screws as tensions with Iran keep rising.
Iran’s media, finance, and influence networks are being squeezed online too.

🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iran may have just turned its enriched uranium stockpile into a much harder problem for Washington.
They've collapsed tunnel entrances and placed explosive mines around underground sites believed to hold the uranium.
Most of the material is believed to be stored in tunnels at the Isfahan Nuclear Technology Center, with roughly half a ton of highly enriched uranium now reportedly harder, slower, and more dangerous to access.
This came after public discussion of a possible U.S. operation to seize the material, and as Trump pushes for a deal requiring Iran to hand over its enriched uranium.
Now even a deal could get messy. Verifying the stockpile, recovering it, and removing it may require excavation, de-mining, and specialized nuclear teams.
Iran can say the uranium is buried, mined, or impossible to retrieve, while Washington may never be fully sure what is still hidden underground.
