Iranian Foreign Minister Tells Social Media Followers To Watch Him On YouTube. There’s Just One Problem.

Earlier this month, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammed Javad Zarif gave a TEDx talk. The video is available on YouTube.

This week, Zarif directed his Instagram followers to view the talk on YouTube. The problem is that YouTube and Instagram are banned in Iran. Obviously this means the talk was not meant for Iranians but for those covering Iran or working on international politics, but the fact that the Iranian people can’t even watch or respond to his comments is a glaring indictment on the regime.
