At a ceremony Wednesday, the Center’s deputy director of legal and parliament, Mohammad Sadek Farahani, condemned Google’s distortion of the Persian Gulf historical name, following reports that President Donald Trump is considering the same move.
“As the head of overseeing the country’s cyberspace, we consider our duty to protect Iran’s cultural identity and take necessary measures,” he said.
“We hope that through collaboration with legal experts and academics, we will establish a legal framework for action against Google, and thereby fulfill our obligations to our beloved Islamic Iran,” the official added.
Farahani emphasized that the National Virtual Space Centre is committed to defending the rights of Iranian people.
“We plan to address this issue in three ways: first, by formal protesting against international organizations, second, by pursuing the issue in the international courts and courts, and finally, by cooperating with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Justice and lodging complaints with the national courts,” he said.
