The Instagram accounts of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and Qasem Soleimani, the head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps' Quds Force, were suspended Tuesday, one a day after the United States officially designated the IRGC a terrorist organization.
Instagram also suspended the accounts of IRGC commander-in-chief Mohammad Ali Jafari and Brig. Gen. Mohammed Pakpour, the commander of the IRGC's ground forces.
Khamenei's English account was suspended, though his Farsi one remains active.
The reason for the suspensions is unclear.
Instagram did not respond to a request for comment.
