On July 25, news broke about a nationwide internet shutdown. The Ministry of Communications announced that the cause of the internet outage was a power failure in the infrastructure communications company (LCT building). But the claim was quickly dismissed by the Electricity Distribution Authority and the company announced that &#8220;no power outages have occurred in this company&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The state-run <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/tejaratnews.com\/startup\/%D9%82%D8%B7%D8%B9-%D8%A7%DB%8C%D9%86%D8%AA%D8%B1%D9%86%D8%AA-%D8%A7%D9%85%D8%B1%D9%88%D8%B2-10-%D9%85%D8%B1%D8%AF%D8%A7%D8%AF-1401\" rel=\"noopener\">Tejaratnews wrote<\/a> today: &#8220;Of course, internet outages in Iran are happening after the Minister of Communications&#8217; trip to Russia, and for this reason, many people believe that these are probably the result of Issa Zarepour&#8217;s trip to Russia. During his trip to Russia, Zarepour had clearly stated: &#8216;While under sanctions, it is necessary to distance yourself from Western operating systems and applications to eliminate dependence on their products. To achieve this goal, Tehran and Moscow are going to invest in the development of &#8220;strategic database management software (DBMS).&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Even though the reason for the internet disruption has not yet been stated, political spectators and Iranians on social media have expressed their concern that the frequent outages may be the basis for the enactment of a nationwide internet shutdown under the pretext of running &#8220;the national internet&#8221; or the implementation of the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.article19.org\/resources\/iran-parliaments-protection-bill-will-hand-over-complete-control-of-the-internet-to-authorities\/\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;Internet Users Protection Bill&#8221;.<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>UPDATE: 2:00 PM CEST<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\">Amid Devastating Floods, State-run Newspaper Displays Roots of the Problem<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"iran-soil-erision-Copy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-261895 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/iran-soil-erision-Copy.jpg\" alt=\"iran-soil-erision-Copy\" width=\"300\" height=\"183\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/iran-soil-erision-Copy.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/iran-soil-erision-Copy-150x92.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The state-run Etemad newspaper wrote on July 30: &#8220;During the last 6 decades, about 18 million hectares of the country&#8217;s forests have diminished. If we continue with this trend, there will be nothing left of Iran&#8217;s forests in 75 years! According to a report by the United Nations in 2018, the total soil erosion in the world is 24 billion tons, and one-twelfth of it, 2 billion tons, happens to take place in Iran, while Iran has only one-hundredth of the world&#8217;s territory. That means Iran&#8217;s soil erosion rate is 8 times the world average. The matter becomes more worrying when we learn that the formation of one cubic centimeter of soil in Iran takes an average of 800 years.&#8221;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>UPDATE: 10:00 AM CEST<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\">Floods ravage 27 provinces across Iran, death toll estimated to be at least 100<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"The-village-of-Mozdran-in-Tehran-province-1\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-261889 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/The-village-of-Mozdran-in-Tehran-province-1-300x170.jpg\" alt=\"The-village-of-Mozdran-in-Tehran-province-1\" width=\"300\" height=\"170\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/The-village-of-Mozdran-in-Tehran-province-1-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/The-village-of-Mozdran-in-Tehran-province-1-150x85.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/The-village-of-Mozdran-in-Tehran-province-1.jpg 690w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">For the past few days, flash floods have devastated hundreds of areas across Iran, leaving behind a monstrous path of death and destruction.
