Cruz calls for criminal investigation into Twitter for violating US sanctions on Iran

by

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, sent a letter to Attorney General Bill Barr and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin Friday, urging them to open a criminal investigation into Twitter for violating sanctions on Iran.

Twitter’s platform enables Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and the Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif to have social media accounts through the platform, which Cruz said violates the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).
