"Iran’s social media has been falling over itself in the past week over reports about Microsoft’s quiet but real entry into the Iranian technology sector. The twitter account for Shargh newspaper’s Sobhan Hassanvand was first to clock the American giant as having a base in Iran on Monday night (Dec. 15).
