This is not a good sign for the future of Iran.
As Iran continues to manage the aftershocks of its contested presidential election, the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps has moved aggressively to tighten its grip on society, most recently with its takeover of a majority share in the nation’s telecommunications monopoly.Turning to the US, it is disturbing to see the arrests in Pittsburgh related to using Twitter. I may have issues with the protesters but it is bothersome to see praise for Twitter when it's in Iran and no outrage when there are arrests for similar use in the US. Is it right or wrong in both cases?
The nearly $8 billion acquisition by a company affiliated with the elite force has amplified concerns in Iran over what some call the rise of a pseudogovernment, prompting members of Parliament to begin an investigation into the deal.
