To say these on HN of all places! > consider the propaganda campaigns the US could run against an Iranian population with web access. I’m amazed at people who have access to freely express their opinions online, prescribe that 90m people

But this article is about cyber attacks, radar interference, etc. on military and strategic targets. The US/Israel can still do these even with total internet blackout. We saw this in the war! Israel/US still bombed who and whatev

It’s defensive indeed! It’s defense against the people whom the regime is most afraid of!

Should internet and outside access be cut for people of Gaza and Lebanon too? Aren’t they targeted by Israel as well?

Yeah exactly! That’s why islamic regime maintains free flow of information for citizens and invites independent third party investors to find out what really happened!

Here’s what you missed from the article: > noting that according to information she received from medical sources, the death toll might be as high as 20,000 . Due to the ongoing internet shutdown, the scale of mass killings that took pla

If you really want to get informed about the protests in January and the death toll start looking at Amnesty’s report and you’ll see the 30000 is not dubious. Cherry picking who reported on a piece of news doesn’t invalidate the content of

You’re right and that’s the sad part. They have their underground cities but haven’t bothered to build shelters for civilians. They care for the school children as little as the US bombs do.

Iranian here! I want to see the regime answer for its crimes. They act like an occupying force, taking the country hostage. With that being said I don’t like/want the war. I understand and sympathize with the emotional response from my

Iran having nukes is unsubstantiated. I also don’t think they wanted to have nukes. But they also enriched Uranium up to 60% according to IAEA which has no non-military use. They perhaps wanted to use that as leverage in negotiations which

Can you point out some signs of concession from islamic regime? I think they wouldn’t concede, with or without war. That’s not in their DNA. They are religious extremists.

Regime change with air invasion is unlikely. The civilian casualties of the war is still significantly lower than the number killed by the regime (according to Amnesty International with conservative number). So while I agree that people do

The other side (regime) publicly state “execute them all” and the response is “bomb them all”. To be clear, I’m not agreeing with the sentiments and agree that bombing the infrastructure is awful, just stating my observation of the state me

Come on! You can do better. You have to at least make it remotely believable.

Here's (1) a reference from a relatively credible source with a lot of context. There's a section dedicated to the number you're looking for. Worth adding that the regime claims around 3000 were killed while not allowing any

In a war where Israel and US are literally bombing the hell out of Iran, fewer people have been killed than those two days of massacre. All according to the numbers confirmed by Iranian government. God, the moral depravity of defending the

So is this a lie? Is netblocks also lying? Is everyone astroturfing?

With internet being practically shut down by the “government” except for a very few individuals connected to the regime, my family in Iran has no means to get the alerts about the areas that are getting or gonna get bombed or have been bomb

Of course. It has actually staunched supporters. One cannot kill innocents in the streets by just the promise of money. So there’s religious ideology involved. However the percentage matters a lot here and even 10% of 90 million is a large

There’s a difference between the ban where they don’t give you visa vs. censorship where they disappear you if you publicize your dissent. One must not conflate.

of course. How do you think they systematically massacred so many people in so many cities during the protests. All those personnel are now devastated.

Kinda sorta... The reality of the situation is much more complicated. The narrative and actions of the Islamic regime don’t quite corroborate "Israeli hegemony in the region" as the sole purpose of this conflict. Their narrative h
