One month ago on Saturday morning, February 28, #Iran was plunged into digital darkness as the Islamic Republic regime's authorities cut off access to the global internet.
Iran has now been without internet for over 30 days as nationwide censorship measures continue into its 2nd month after over 700 hours, cutting the vast majority of the country’s 92 million Iranians off from the outside world through four weeks of war.
While rights monitors, independent media and the public are sidelined, international access is granted to a few on a state-approved whitelist.
This measure leaves civilians cut off from the Internet, violating their right to access information in times of war.

یک ماهه که اسراییل و آمریکا دارن همینجور زیرساخت های نظامی رو میزنن و هنوز هم باقیه. بعد یه عده میگفتن سختیهایی که مردم میکشن بخاطر تحریمهاس. نه پوفیوز! بخاطر این بود که ٧٠-٨٠ درصد بودجه سالانه مملکت رو میدادن موشک درست می کردن.
The world must understand that this isn’t at all about manpower.
The Islamic Republic is exploiting children, intentionally putting them in harm’s way just to punish Israel / U.S, and to create pressure.
It doesn’t get more wicked, evil, and vile than the Islamic Republic.
Hard to watch.
A group of Iranian civilians boldly seizes a Basij operative in the middle of the street and takes him down.
The level of public rage in Iran toward its regime is hard to comprehend.
A Palestinian mother in Gaza saw images of her son online and rushed to the hospital.
When she arrived, she discovered that the blood was all fake. The Palestinians were just staging a scene for their Pallywood propaganda.
BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT THEY DO.
THEY LIE! CONSTANTLY.
It's rich that multiple #Iran regime officials are posting about the #NoKings protests when Mojtaba Khamenei succeeded his father Ali Khamenei as supreme leader.
THOUSANDS of real American patriots and freedom-loving Iranians flooded Washington DC today to back Trump's bold strikes on the Iran regime!
Crowds chanted "Thank you Trump!" "USA USA!" "Islamic Regime Must Go!" and "Long Live the King!" for Reza Pahlavi as the leader of a free Iran.
Fake news media buried this massive show of support - just like they always do when it doesn't fit their anti-Trump lies.
Trump's doing what weak leaders never had the guts for. The people see it. The regime's days are numbered - and America First is winning big.
Alireza Jafari, an 11-year-old boy, has been identified as a child soldier killed while serving at an IRGC checkpoint in Tehran.
According to Hengaw, a Norway-based human rights organization, he is the first reported Iranian child soldier to be killed since the escalation of the war in the Middle East.
He was initially reported as a civilian casualty, but the “Teachers’ Basij” organization later confirmed that he died “while on duty.” According to his mother, he was at the checkpoint with his father due to a shortage of personnel.
Earlier, Al Arabiya reported that the Islamic regime in Iran had lowered the conscription age and resumed recruiting minors into the armed forces. Teenagers have reportedly been assigned to checkpoints and patrol duties in Tehran.
The use of child soldiers is not new for the Islamic regime.
Similar practices were used during the Iran-Iraq War, when children aged 9–12 were sent en masse to clear minefields, with the full approval of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.
Schools were heavily used for propaganda, where dying for the Islamic revolution was glorified. Many children went to the front voluntarily under its influence.
Children were given so-called “golden keys” to wear around their necks. Propaganda claimed these keys would open the gates of heaven if they died as martyrs.
They were sent ahead, detonating mines to clear the way for trained units. Some were even tied together with ropes to prevent them from fleeing.
Estimates suggest that around 95,000–100,000 Iranian child soldiers were killed during the Iran-Iraq War.
