Amid the spreading of protests against the soaring prices of food staples from one province to the other, while the Iranian regime continues to slow down or completely shut down the internet in cities where tensions are running high, a state-run newspaper warns the regime’s leadership that these tactics will fail eventually.<\/p>\n

“These days, in some provinces, the internet is either cut off or so slow that opening a video and watching it is quite annoying,” Jahan-e-Sanat newspaper wrote today. “This, however, does not prevent the spread of news and information about the situation in the country. After all, we are in the midst of the age of communication. How is it possible (to block the news) for a store that is raided in Qazvin while the footage thereof is spreading from one device to the other? How is it possible for law enforcement and security officers to be stationed in all the big squares of the capital without attracting attention? That is why even the government’s news agency could not remain silent and had to cover the news.”<\/p>\n
