Apple has allegedly begun removing Iranian iOS apps from the App store
Interesting. Looks like the Google Play store was also embargoed at one point:

I wonder what exactly is going on. Trump administration looking for ways to put pressure on Apple?
Disgraceful
This was posted yesterday, and I flagged it then, and I'm flagging it now. TechCrunch has a reputation of writing opinion stories without doing the proper research or due diligence. With their reputation in mind, I'm going to say this is false news, without sources and confirmations.
Don't believe me? See TechCrunch absurdities written by Megan Rose Dickey who is a self proclaimed reporter at TechCrunch focused on diversity, inclusion and social justice. How she still has a job is beyond me. If this were the other way around, a white male writing like she does he would be blasted as a sexist, and racist and socially shamed into oblivion.

The embargo makes it illegal for an American company to do business with Iran. It has been this way for decades.
