Several reports indicate that telecoms providers in Iran have begun blocking internet access across several cities in the country as mass protests erupted for the third day in a row.

Among the telecoms company was Hamrahe Aval, the primary Mobile Telecommunication Company of Iran (MTCI or MCI) as social media continues to play a pivotal role in documenting mass protests and subsequent brutal crackdown on peaceful protesters in the country.

Shortwave goes directly to my part of Tx along the grayline,

When the Sun is rising in Teheran, the sun is setting here.

Comes in loud and clear on 40 meters

obama and valerie jarrett are no longer in control. They can’t help the mullahs like they did when they were in the WH.

I guess I meant that there is no major pirate radio going into closed countries like during the cold war.

“Gone are the days of shortwave radio.”

“More’s the pity.”

The rumors of it’s death are greatly exaggerated. I imagine there is more than one ham operator in Iran. You just need to know the frequencies.

Maybe Kenneth knows the frequency....

Goes to show that the state controlling the internet maybe isn’t a good idea.

I really hope the CIA can do something good to help the Iranian people instead of just selling drugs and fomenting Arab Springs all over the place. This is their chance to do something good for the world by getting rid of the mad mullahs.trump will surely back any reasonable effort as well.Of course for all we know he already has been for months hes always so far ahead of us.

Wonder if there’s any way the US could supply free internet access to the affected areas...

There are 'mobile mesh wifi networks' that are relatively inexpensive, but they'd have to already be in-country and spread out to be effective. Also, only limited range.

Well, we are finally doing deals that benefit — shock Of shocks — the actual USA...

We always will have to deal with the shady characters on the world stage, but now we will be trying to act in OUR best interests for a change. We finally have a president who isn’t greedy or owned.

Iran, NK and Venezuela have been in league for ages,

The reason Iran is popping is the pressure on NK.

Maduruo and Chavez are done
