Twitter is technically banned in Iran � but #IranTalks and #GenevaTalks were trending in the hours after yesterday�s historic nuclear deal.






A reported�2 million Iranians�have Facebook and Twitter pages, using VPNs to bypass the ban. Farsi speakers also used the hashtag #??? (Geneva) and #???? (Zarif, for Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif.)

�This is how we spent last night.�
