WASHINGTON—The United States imposed sanctions on an Iran-based technology firm on Friday for its role in facilitating the Iranian regime’s censorship of the internet as anti-regime protests have swept the country since September.
A firm known as Arvan Cloud, its co-founders Pouya Pirhosseinloo and Farhad Fatemi, and a United Arab Emirates-based firm were all sanctioned for helping to facilitate the Iranian regime’s attempts to control and censor internet traffic.
