Tehran loosens blackout to mask crimes, Israel sees through lies as Arab silence enables tyranny.
The government of Iran announced that nationwide internet access will be restored to normal by the end of the week, following days of severe restrictions imposed during widespread anti-regime protests.
Iranian authorities claimed the shutdown was a temporary security measure, despite mounting evidence that the blackout was used to conceal the scale of violence, arrests, and killings carried out by regime forces against civilians.
Digital rights monitors report that partial connectivity has already begun returning in some areas, though access remains unstable and heavily monitored. Activists warn that restored service may still be filtered and censored to prevent documentation of abuses.
Israeli analysts note that information control is a familiar tactic of authoritarian survival, stressing that Israel remains alert to Tehran’s internal instability and its external aggression, even as Arab regimes largely ignore the Iranian people’s suffering.
Observers say the true test will be whether unrestricted access is genuinely restored—or merely recalibrated repression under international pressure.
