Another Iranian crackdown on news. The government says that Fars was guilty of "disturbing public opinion".

Oran's state news agency IRNA says authorities have ordered the temporary closure of a semi-official news agency, Fars, for false reporting and disturbing public opinion.

The IRNA report does not elaborate. But a governmental news Web site, Borna, says the agency was closed on Monday for three days because it carried a report that the head of Iran's Central Bank, Tahmasb Mazaheri, had been replaced by first vice president Parviz Davoodi.
