Surprised there’s still movement between Iran and Turkey, but yeah. I guess I should add entertainment to list of preparedness items in case the US ever does the same.

Also, hyperbolic to call it a war crime when actual genocide is happening in Gaza and a whole school full of Iranian students was killed by the US. I’d be worried about who the source is on such a bold statement.

    Guess he can't understand that allowing internet access in Iran is akin to give Mossad and CIA an eye in every corner of the country, considering that neither have a great record with civilian casualties. What happens then, according to him?

    Furthermore, the "blackout" seems mostly like ISPs are being told to block signals coming from outside Iran. Internal connections, like gov't websites seem to be working.

    Iran is a country with beautiful people oppressed by a heinous clergymen regime. Israel may not be a good government but downfall of Khomeini thingies is the best for everyone.
