Iranian government has said that they can allow internet firms like Google to operate in the country if they accept their "cultural rules".
According to the Guardian, Iran's deputy telecommunications and information technology minister Nasrollah Jahangard said that the country is not opposed to any entities operating in the global market that wish to offer their services in the country.

More than half of the population of Iran uses the internet.
Iranian authorities have regularly blocked access to websites like Facebook, Youtube and Twitter since 2009.
