Iran has arrested the deputy chief editor of Fars news agency, state media said, more than a week after the agency was reportedly hit by a cyberattack.
“The deputy head of Fars news agency, Abbas Darvish Tavanger, has been arrested for falsifying news,” state broadcaster IRIB said late Monday.
He would remain in custody during the investigation, it added.
