Iran’s nuclear program benefits online via social media

AUSTIN, Texas — Iran’s nuclear enrichment program benefits the online world of social media, an Iranian official said Wednesday, making it possible for its citizens to follow the latest developments in the world of Iran’s most controversial leaders.
The Iranian government has a very limited social media presence, but social media platforms in Iran are still very small, the Iranian official told reporters in Tehran.
Social media in Iran is very small.
We have not built a huge platform for it, but we have some of our friends, and we have a lot of our supporters who are very active in Iran, he said.
Iran has an active and growing social media platform, and the social media accounts of all the leaders are very visible, he added.
This is one of the reasons why we have seen a tremendous increase in the use of social networking sites, he told reporters at a briefing.
I think that we have to make sure that we give our citizens access to the information they need, the news they need and that is something that has been going on for a long time.
In the case of the Iranian nuclear program and the issue of its implementation, the information that we are able to share online is more comprehensive and more useful than what is available on our traditional platforms, the official said.
