TEHRAN – Iranian Minister of Communications and Information Technology Mohammad Javad Azari Jahromi has said that negotiations were underway with Twitter to unblock the social media platform.

“(Twitter) has announced that it is prepared to negotiate to resolve problems,” Iran newspaper quoted Azari Jahromi as saying on Tuesday.

“Considering the current situation there are grounds for such negotiation and interaction. Twitter is not an immoral environment needing to be blocked,” he added.

Iran blocked Twitter, along with Facebook and YouTube, in 2009.
