National Virtual Space Center to Pursue Legal Action Against Google Over Persian Gulf Name Distortion

The National Virtual Space Center has announced its intention to take legal action against Google for distorting the name of the Persian Gulf.

Iran (IMNA) - During a ceremony on Wednesday, Mohammad-Sadeq Farahani, the center’s deputy head of legal and parliamentary affairs, condemned Google’s alteration of the historical name of the Persian Gulf, especially in light of reports that U.S. President Donald Trump was contemplating a similar move.

“As the authority responsible for overseeing the country’s cyberspace, we consider it our duty to safeguard Iran’s cultural identity and take necessary measures,” Farahani stated.

He added, “We hope that through collaboration with legal experts and scholars, we can establish a legal framework to take action against Google and thereby fulfill our duty to the beloved Islamic Iran.”

Farahani stressed the center’s commitment to defending the rights of the Iranian people, outlining a three-pronged approach to address the issue: first, by formally protesting to international organizations; second, by pursuing the matter in international courts and tribunals; and finally, by filing a complaint in domestic courts with the cooperation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Judiciary.
