Samsung to block access to app store in Iran

Iranian users of Samsung mobile applications said...the company had notified them that they will no longer have access to the company's online store as of May 22. The move is seen as part of international sanctions on the country over its disputed nuclear program...Samsung spokesman Chris Jung in Seoul declined to comment. Unlike Apple, Microsoft and Adobe, Samsung has provided localized services to Iranians in their native Persian language. In 2012, Finnish communications giant Nokia stopped its services in the country.
