Also from the story........

The Revolutionary Guard, an elite military force answering Khamenei, said through the state news service that its investigators have taken action against "deviant news sites" that encouraged public disturbance and street riots. The Guards are a separate military with enormous domestic influence and control of Iran's most important defense programs. They are one of the key sources of power for the ruling establishment.

The statement alleged that dissident Web sites were backed by Canadian, American and British interests, a frequent charge levied by Iranian hard-liners against their opposition.

"Legal action will be very strong and call on them to remove such materials," it said.

Of course....the Revolutionary Guards were a team of lawyers. Who knew? Don't be suprised if Iran decides to target Twitter as one of the deviant news sources.
