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…

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…

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!

> if they had kept Internet running, they would have been completely pwned. Can you elaborate how such thing plays out?

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 in…

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 re…

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…

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 unders…

> But the thing that gets them rioting is economic failure I believe Iranians want to be able to decide their own fate, with the dignity that all humans deserve. Without criminal d…

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 p…

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 Internationa…

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 infrastr…

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 ar…

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 Ir…

> In the same way that you mainly only post in threads to support toppling the Iranian regime Oh I, like many of my people, have been posting and supporting toppling of this murder…

> You yourself have questioned sources before Yup, no need to trust Iran International. You can check NetBlocks if you really care about the source. It’s not that difficult. A gove…

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 …

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 percenta…

> AFAIK, about 50% support the religious strongman in both countries. Do you have any credible source for this?
