Social media platform X has suspended several accounts of the Iranian-linked Tasnim News Agency for allegedly leaking sensitive security information regarding US First Lady Melania Trump. The suspension affected the agency's English, Persian, and Arabic accounts after a video surfaced detailing the First Lady's secret routes and security vulnerabilities. Analysts warned this data posed a serious risk of being used for criminal acts. Tasnim News, established in 2012, is believed to have close ties with Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
