Pokémon GO has become the world’s most popular mobile game since its launch in July, but not everyone loves it.
Pokémon GO has officially been banned in Iran.
The Iranian High Council of Virtual Spaces – the country’s official body that oversees online activity – has prohibited the use of the Pokémon GO app within the country due to unspecified “security concerns,” BBC reports.
