The regime has also shut down the internet in many parts of the country. Many Iranians abroad who are trying to contact their relatives inside the country are reporting serious internet outages or slow connectivity. The latter could be considered a sign of the regime’s intention for a full-fledged crackdown.
During the November 2019 uprisings, the Iranian regime shut down the internet and slaughtered more than 1500 people throughout the country.
