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.

Starting to get interesting.
What will the military do? Sadly, it may take a civil war to change things.

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

Gone are the days of shortwave radio. More's the pity.

Gone are the days of shortwave radio. Being an "SWL" and "DX'er" since 1970, I beg to differ. It's certainly not what it was, but it's not gone yet.
Check this incredible spin on the thing:

Trump should pour gasoline on the fire. We owe them a punch in the nose. Do it without a military strike but bang the Iranian forces in Iraq and Syria.

I have an idea that the Saudis may well be our surrogates in that regard...

They were filling the streets and screaming because Iran is spinning up their silos and preparing for launch. You know what itself is fixing to rain down on them, and yes internet is cut off. Read a few minutes ago on Arutz Sheva large group of ‘terrorist troops’ (likely front line spies)have ‘evacuated’ from the border of the Golan.

I would bet that we have people in there as well as the Saudis, and probably the Israelis.

I have little confidence that our spooks have our best interests at heart, so I hope our allies in the region, not us, are irritating this situation in Iran.
