US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken stated on Friday that Washington is looking at ways to assist the protesters in communicating with other countries in light of the fact that there have been demonstrations in Iran for the fourth week in a row.
In addition, the channel “Iran International” reported today that the internet service is interrupted by mobile phone in Al -Ahwaz, the capital of Khuzestan Governorate, amid the continued protests against the killing of the young woman, Muhsa Amini.
Many US administration officials confirmed their continued assistance to facilitate the protesters’ communication, revealing their dealings with technology companies to provide Internet service.
Companies have made decisions to take advantage of this opportunity and make it easier for Iranians to get software and devices after the exemption licence for exporting telecoms equipment and services to Iran was issued.
Furthermore, he emphasised that “the Iranian government is an authoritarian dictatorship that attempts to restrict communication between its people and the outside world while exempting the American government from providing some means of communication for the Iranian people.
He also emphasised that the American government will continue to impose sanctions against authorities as a result of this repression while doing “all in its ability to assist the Iranian people in delivering their voice at home and abroad.
It is noteworthy that the Iranian government has intermittently cut off Internet access from mobile phones since the beginning of the widespread protests on September 16 in response to the death of the Kurdish young woman Muhsa Amini 3 days after her arrest at the hands of members of the so-called religious police.
The worldwide Internet freedom control organisation Net Blix has reported that Iran has experienced significant Internet connectivity issues since Wednesday morning, which coincides with the call for large-scale national demonstrations.
Since Amini’s passing, a number of problems have come under fire, including the severe laws governing women’s attire, the limitations placed on individual freedoms, the Iranian people’s ongoing living and economic crises, and the rigid regulations enforced by the country’s political system as a whole.
Washington: We aim to facilitate Iranian communication with other countries.
