TEHRAN: The Facebook page of Iran’s foreign minister was taken over briefly by unidentified hackers who protested against the crackdown on protesters after the disputed 2009 presidential election, media reported yesterday.
“My Facebook page was pirated by someone who changed the password, but the problem has since been sorted,” Mohammad Javad Zarif was quoted as saying by state news agency IRNA.
“If this happens again, I may have to stop having a Facebook page,” he added.
The US-educated diplomat regularly updates his Facebook page (facebook.com/jzarif) where he posts in Farsi, and sometimes interacts with some of his more-than 184,000 fans.
