Judiciary official lauds people use of domestic messengers

Use of foreign messengers is harmful for the country from security, cultural and economic points of view, Iran's Judiciary Spokesman Gholam-Hossein Mohseni Ejei said in his weekly press briefing.

He noted that pursuing crimes happening in foreign messengers is a little bit difficult but not impossible.

Earlier, Head of Majlis (parliament) Foreign Policy and National Security Commission Alaeddin Boroujerdi had described foreign messengers including Telegram messaging service as a national security threat that should be replaced by a national messenger.

'Because of Telegram's security threats, countries have blocked it and are using national and domestic messengers and networks,' he added.
