Instagram blocks accounts of IRGC commanders after US terror blacklisting
Social media site Instagram has deleted multiple accounts belonging to senior commanders in Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps, including its commander Qassem Soleimani, according to various reports, after the United States officially recognizes it as a terror organization.
The official IRGC Instagram page is down, as are those of Soleimani, Brigadier Moussa kamali, Maj. Gen. Mohammad Ali Jafari, Maj. Gen. Mohammad Bagheri and Brig. Gen. Ezatollah Zarghami.
