The reasons behind the US blocking of Iranian domains.
▪️ The need to migrate to the national domain (.ir).
The recent sudden blocking of international domains belonging to Iranian businesses by US domain registrars has revealed new dimensions of technological sanctions. This development shows that big registrars like GoDaddy are targeting Iranian platforms without any prior warning, in accordance with the regulations set by the US Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC).
🔹These developments prove that no domain extension is immune from such cross-border restrictions, as the country where the domain provider is registered plays a decisive role.
🔹This challenge serves as a serious wake-up call to the ecosystem of Iran's digital economy to re-evaluate its dependence on infrastructure. 🔹In response to these infrastructure-related shocks, the AFTA Center published a clear road map, calling on businesses to proactively migrate to the national domain (.ir) and strengthen their cyber resilience. This approach makes the development of defense strategies an absolute necessity.
