Iranian authorities have ordered internet service providers in Iran to block access to Telegram, a secure messaging service linked to organizers of anti-government protests, the Associated Press reported Monday.

State TV reported that a Tehran prosecutor ordered both the mobile and desktop versions to be blocked so that restrictions couldn't be bypassed using a virtual private network, the news service reported. The app was still operational Monday evening.
