There is no doubt that Iran's relations with the U.S. are not good, and the Middle Eastern country in times past did not allow the use of certain "products" such as the U.S. dollar, Gmail and YouTube, among others. This time, the Iranian government has planned to Google becomes part of the list and also want its citizens to start using an Internet network itself as part of a project to improve the cyber security of the country.
This announcement was issued on Sunday and broadcast on state television announced that not only Google, but also some of its services like Gmail would be blocked soon.
According to some reports, Google blockade is due to an anti-Islamic video that was posted on YouTube and that infuriated many Muslims, although this was not officially confirmed. Once the lock is done, the next step is to connect people to their own national network.
