Iran Focus London, 31 Jul - The founder of encrypted messaging service Telegram has denied any plans to install servers in Iran, despite claims from the Iranian Regime. Telegram Founder and CEO Pavel Durov explained on Twitter that “no Telegram servers will be moved to Iran". In his post, he linked to an earlier post which explained Telegram’s position in more detail. Mahmoud Vaezi, Iran's communications and information technology minister, said on Sunday that some Telegram servers will be moved to Iran following recent meetings between the Iranian Regime and Telegram managers. Vaezi claimed that Telegram would be using third-party systems (content delivery networks or CDNs) in Iran, but Durov responded that these CDNs are only used to make the service faster.
