TEHRAN – Abdolsamad Khorramabadi, secretary of the Iranian cyberspace watchdog, said on Monday that the ministry of communications and information technology is working to once again block access to Waze, a GPS-based geographical navigation application.

Khorramabadi said a team is commissioned to take necessary measures in order to block Iranians’ access to Waze, Tasnim reported.

Access to the app was temporary blocked earlier in March, but later the ban was removed later. The decision was made due to Waze’s Israeli background
