Iran just launched a couple of addditional subs recently. The Iranian people are getting too much info from outside. They fear uprising.
Step in Russia fresh off their suggestion that they would pre-emptively nuke us. They floated the idea in the press that it might signal another “Imperialist Expansion” about to be undertaken the the evil US.
According every leftwing nutjob rag in the US has picked up on that and run with it.
In the meantime Iran gets a twofer...cut off their own people and blame it on the US.
Push the button Mr. President.
Iran is not cut off
Repression of information only leads to increased hunger for the truth; cutting cables won’t stop people from finding out in this day of mass communications.
Too bad this theory does not seem to apply to a big chunk of the American public. Unless there is repression of information on Britney Spears.
