🚨🇮🇷 IRAN INTERNET BLACKOUT HITS 132+ HOURS. EARLY REPORTS SAY THOUSANDS DEAD

Iran's been offline for over 5 days straight now. Complete digital darkness.

Early reports are saying thousands of casualties. But the blackout means nobody actually knows the real number.

That's the point. 132 hours isn't about blocking protest coordination.

You're creating a black box so the world can't see inside while you do whatever you're doing...

Information will come out eventually. Always does.

But by then bodies are buried, witnesses are scattered or silenced, and the regime controls the narrative about what happened.

5 days of total blackout during protests is cover for massacre. Simple and horrifying.

Early reports are saying thousands of casualties. But the blackout means nobody actually knows the real number.
That's the point. 132 hours isn't about blocking protest coordination anymore. It's about hiding what's happening while it happens.
When you shut off the internet for this long during active crackdowns, you're not managing the situation. You're creating a black box so the world can't see inside while you do whatever you're doing.
Information will come out eventually. Always does. But by then bodies are buried, witnesses are scattered or silenced, and the regime controls the narrative about what happened.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 BEFORE WE BOMB IRAN, REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED TO IRAQ, LIBYA, AND SYRIA

Iran's regime is teetering on collapse.

Thousands are dead, cities are burning, and protesters are literally calling for revolution in the streets.

Trump's weighing military strikes while Israel watches, ready to pounce.

Here's the thing: if America intervenes now, the Islamic Republic might not last the week.

But before anyone pops champagne, maybe we should check our recent report card on regime change.

Remember Iraq? Twenty years later, it's still a mess.

Libya? We helped topple Gaddafi and now it's run by warlords.

Syria? Assad just fell and HTS, once an Al-Qaeda affiliate, controls Damascus.

Afghanistan needs no explanation... the Taliban came back stronger after two decades of our best efforts.

The pattern never changes: dictator falls, chaos rushes in, extremists grab power, civilians end up worse than they started.

Yes, Iran's protesters deserve freedom.

Absolutely.

But American bombs have a terrible track record of delivering it.

They're much better at creating power vacuums that birth the next ISIS.

The Ayatollahs are monsters, no question.

But before we tip these scales with airstrikes, we should ask ourselves honestly: are we liberating Iran or just creating Syria 2.0?

Revolution from within might actually work.

Revolution from American bombers almost never does.

US will take 'very strong action' if Iran hangs protesters, Trump tells CBS News http://reut.rs/4qVR8LR http://reut.rs/4qVR8LR

This marks a major shift.

It's no longer just protests, this is armed resistance taking territory.

If confirmed, it would be the first time an IRGC headquarters has been seized since the 1979 revolution.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is the regime's elite force, specifically designed to protect the theocracy from internal and external threats.

They're not regular military.

They're the regime's ideological enforcers.

The Kurds are an ethnic minority of roughly 10 million in Iran's western provinces, distinct from Persians with their own language, culture, and long history of resistance against Tehran.

Groups like PJAK and KDPI have fought for autonomy for decades, often from bases in Iraqi Kurdistan.

The regime has brutally suppressed Kurdish uprisings before, but never while facing nationwide protests, economic collapse, and a weakened military posture after Israeli strikes degraded their capabilities.

Armed groups seizing regime military installations is a completely different phase than street protests.

That significantly raises the risk of broader civil war.

Regime change is rarely clean once things reach this stage.

🚨🇪🇺🇮🇷 EU: IRAN'S CRACKDOWN "UNACCEPTABLE," REGIME "TERRIFIED OF ITS OWN PEOPLE"

The EU foreign policy chief says the brutality exposes a government clinging to power amid economic collapse and relentless street defiance.

Strong words from Brussels.

But words don't stop bullets.

Iranians are watching to see who actually does something.

🚨🇺🇸🇪🇺🇮🇷 TRUMP ADMIN ASKED EUROPEAN ALLIES MONDAY TO SHARE INTELLIGENCE ON IRANIAN TARGETS

Two European officials confirmed the request.

One said they don't expect nuclear sites to be hit, more likely "leadership of organizations and forces responsible for the killings of protesters."

Target lists are being built.

This is moving beyond rhetoric.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 SEN. FETTERMAN: IRAN IS IN A DEATH SPIRAL

“Iran really’s capabilities are severely limited at this point, and now they’re in a death spiral with all these protests.

Why wouldn’t we want to be ready to provide the kind of bump to just push it, to finally break this regime.

Now they’re so desperate.”

Iran protests: Trump says help 'on its way' as Iranian official says 2,000 killed http://reut.rs/4byvoB5 http://reut.rs/4byvoB5

Despite public saber-rattling against Iran, President Donald J. Trump has sounded uncertain in private about potential military action, with some describing him as less enthusiastic than before the bombings last June and another calling it “a coin flip” whether he decides to order strikes against Iran, people close to the White House told the Washington Post.

India's basmati rice exports to Iran have slowed to a near standstill amid the protests gripping the Gulf country, with suppliers wary of new deals due to the risk of non-payment and potential additional US tariffs, trade officials said https://reut.rs/4qtpINC

🇮🇷 Starlink is literally Iran's lifeline right now.

As Iran’s regime imposes a near-total internet blackout amid protests that have claimed hundreds, if not thousands, of lives, Elon quietly waived @Starlink subscription fees, delivering free satellite internet to terminals inside the country.

Funny how the guy they love to villainize keeps showing up when the ‘good guys’ disappear.
