As a result, the only remaining websites with reliable Internet connectivity are controlled by the Iranian government and are operating on the .ir domain delegation, also known as the Iranian country code top-level domain (ccTLD).
Key Points:
- As a result, the only remaining websites with reliable Internet connectivity are controlled by the Iranian government and are operating on the .ir domain delegation, also known as the Iranian country code top-level domain (ccTLD).
- Furthermore, we urge the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), who delegates all country code top-level domain properties, to terminate all access to .ir domains by removing the .ir domain delegation from the DNS root zone until these sanctions are lifted.
- We encourage the Trump Administration to evaluate these recommendations to provoke diplomacy, promote peace and freedom of expression for the people of Iran.
- As President Herbert Hoover said, It is a paradox that every dictator has climbed to power on the ladder of free speech.
