The Iranian regime is intensifying its control over journalists and political activists who criticize its mismanagement, repression of freedoms, and security agencies' misconduct.

Since early September 2024, Iranian authorities have launched an arrest campaign that has affected dozens, the latest being the detention of four individuals in Kurdish cities, along with raids on the homes of victims from the 2022 protests.

The scenes of the killing and suppression of protesters in Iran during the demonstrations rejecting the killing of Mahsa Amini brought back memories of the revolution (1978-1979).

What Iranian protesters are chanting in the streets is no longer about hijab or the heavy-handed morality police, and they want nothing less than a regime change.

The US government has given SpaceX CEO Elon Musk the green light to activate the satellite internet service, Starlink, to help Iranian protesters.
