Well maybe the imperialist United States of Israel should stop attacking everyone.. Palestinians & Lebanese are struggling to survive as well while Democrats sit on their asses & defend Isnotreal.

If you read the article, this is an Iranian State blackout to oppress their own people. Not a thing done by the US or Israel. They want to stop the people from reaching out for help.

The US attack gave Iran political cover for it. Now they can pretend it's a war OPSEC thing instead of a dissent suppression thing.

So what? Doesn't stop them from being able to claim it.

Not a phone in sight. Just people living in the moment.
