US Secretary of State Anthony Blinkkin revealed on Friday that Washington was putting together plans to make it easier for the demonstrators to contact with people abroad.
During his meeting with Iranian activists, in Washington, he said that the US administration is working on a license that allows the provision of technology that would allow the Iranians to communicate with each other and with the outside world, and to circumvent the systematic closure of the Internet. without going into further depth.
US penalties
Blinken also reaffirmed his nation’s support for the rallies against the Iranian government while citing the sanctions put in place by Washington on those in charge of repressing the demonstrations.
The US slapped sanctions on Iran’s alleged “religious police,” which resulted to the death of Muhsa Amini, a young woman, on September 16, the Washington Foreign Minister recalled.
It is noteworthy that since Amini’s passing, anger has been sparked by a number of issues, including the limitations placed on individual freedoms and the stringent regulations governing women’s attire, as well as the Iranian people’s dire living and economic conditions, not to mention the rigid regulations imposed by the country’s political system as a whole.
