The social media platform X (formerly Twitter) suspended Iranian military-affiliated Tasnim News Agency on Thursday, July 30.

Its English account and other related handles were all displayed as banned for violating X’s “rules.”

Unconfirmed reports suggest the suspension followed a video highlighting security gaps around Melania Trump and detailing potential targeting strategies. X has yet to issue an official explanation, while the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-linked state media remains offline.

Sharing a video of a US attack destroying homes on an Iranian island, Iran’s Embassy in Zimbabwe, on X, questioned if it was a meaningful reason for suspending the account.

This is a video from Iran's Tasnim news agency. It shows residential houses destroyed by the US military's attack on Qeshm.

The user account for this network has been suspended on X.

Is this a meaningful equation? Or we need explain it more? pic.twitter.com/mjNeqmSJfx
