Twitter may be officially banned in Iran, but this did not stop Iranians from tweeting snapshots of themselves as U.S. President Barack Obama gave his speech on the Iranian nuclear deal, broadcast live on TV uncensored.

Young Iranians grabbed at the opportunity to take unusual selfies – against the TV screens with Obama – and then post these to social media.

Some playfully pinched the US President on the cheek, while others blew kisses to U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry.
