2 edits |  Facts don't support allegations yet
No facts have been brought to light that the ISP has cut off Iranian server at US Gov't request. The Iranian Student News Agency said no explanation had been given by the server, called The Planet, for its abrupt move to terminate the contract. And if they did make a request, the ISP has the right to challenge that in court. Right now these are mere allegations and nothing else. Lets wait for facts before making accusations. Maybe the ISP wasn't getting paid?
Oh, and I get a kick out of the Iranian gov't employee claiming internet access is a Human Rights issue.
A senior official in the Iranian ministry of Islamic guidance, which handles the media, accused the US government of breaching human rights by allegedly ordering the move. This is the same Iranian department that shuts down all press in Iran that questions the mullahs godlike authority.
And even if the US Gov't has asked ISP's to stop doing business with IRAN, then that is because IRAN is on a list of terrorist countries no US company is to be doing business with.

But the link in the article above to the GoDaddy announcement suggests that GoDaddy (at least) will not do business with such countries and that their action is obligated by their interpretation of US Govt policy. |

If that is the case, too bad for the Iranians. I am sure France will be more than willing to host terrorist governments web sites. |

Iranian Melodrama at it's best.  |
