Twitter is blocked in Iran, but the social media company's CEO has noticed that the country's politicians seemingly have unfettered access to the service.
Seeing that Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has been tweeting from the United Nations this past week, CEO Dick Costolo sent out a public missive Thursday asking Rouhani when his constituents would have the same access.
'Mr. President, enjoying your Tweets from the UN. We would love the Iranian people to enjoy them as well. When will that be?' Costolo wrote.
While a public response from Rouhani is not readily apparent, it appears his comments have not landed on deaf ears.
Costolo announced Saturday on the service that he just had a phone call with Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif.

'Good phone call with Foreign Minister of Iran @JZarif discussing open access to Twitter in Iran,' Costolo wrote.
A Twitter representative confirmed to the Daily News that the conversation did happen, but additional information on the conversation or its impact was not available.
