IRAN has blocked Google Search and Gmail

Iranians’ access to Google Search and Gmail has been cut, as announced by the state television. Although coming through as unconfirmed at the moment, Iranian Students' News Agency (ISNA) said that the ban on the popular Google services “was connected to the anti-Islamic film posted on the company's YouTube site which has caused outrage throughout the Muslim world”.  Reports confirm that the country is in the process of shifting its citizens to a domestic Internet network, in what it claims to be an attempt at improving cyber security. Without disclosing any further, an official identified only by his last name, Khoramabadi, said ,  “Google and Gmail will be filtered throughout the country until further notice.”
