Iran has banned a popular computer game, “Battlefield 3″, depicting US armour and aircraft launching an assault on Tehran, an Iranian IT magazine reported.
“All computer stores are prohibited from selling this illegal game,” an unnamed deputy with the security and intelligence division of Iran’s police said in a statement carried by the Asr-e Ertebat weekly.
A Tehran-based IT union warned all shops to abide by the ban.
“Battlefield 3″, made by US videogame company Electronic Arts (EA), is based on a fictional near-future in which players take on the role of US Marines tackling shoot-em-up missions in Paris, New York and Tehran.
