I described exactly how this would unfold:

Now CNN is in Tehran, broadcasting a staged reality and repeating the Islamic Republic’s script.
They went first. Others will follow.
This is not journalism. It’s whitewashing a massacre.
Iran will remember this.
💔 What happened at the Rasht Bazaar in northern Iran on Thursday, January 8, 2026, will go down as one of the most horrific crimes any government has ever committed against its own people.
A large group of civilians was driven into the bazaar through fear and gunfire. They were trapped inside, the entire place was set on fire, and machine-gun fire rained down on anyone who tried to escape the flames to save their lives.
These were ordinary people, protesters, men, women, and children.
How can some of you still defend this regime and try to frame this as the government dealing with “rogue rioters”?
Shame on you. History will not forget you.

Received footage from '#Tehran': Government forces armed with guns, batons, and more attacking civilians who sought shelter in a building, along with the brave effort of one citizen trying to block repressive thugs from entering.

⚠️ Update: #Iran has now been offline for 120 hours.
Despite some phone calls now connecting, there is no secure way to communicate and the general public remain cut off from the outside world.
What footage makes it through shows extensive use of force against civilians 📵
⚠️ Update: As #Iran wakes up to a new day, metrics show the national internet blackout is past the 84 hour mark.
Years of digital censorship research point to these workarounds:
📻 Shortwave/HAM radio
📶 Cell towers at borders
📡 Starlink terminals
🛰️ Direct-to-Cell satellite
⚠️ WARNING: DISTURBING CONTENT
Received videos showing bodies, with this description:
"These images are from Kahrizak, taken on Saturday, January 10, 2026. Sent via Starlink by a friend who went there to identify relatives."
