Repeated posts state: "Extremist hardliners have taken control of the country." Reports describe a 40‑day internet cutoff for ~90% of the population with access "sold on the black market," collapsed online businesses, rising unemployment, families forced to "sell their gold savings," inflation and joblessness, canceled UAE residency visas and deportations, ongoing executions, and concerns the country will become "poor, isolated." Replies include sympathy emojis (😿, 💔, 🙏) and brief supportive messages.

"Extremist hardliners have taken control of the country. For forty days, the internet has been almost completely cut off for more than ninety percent of the population, while access is sold on the black market at outrageous prices. Countless online businesses have collapsed. Unemployment is rising, companies are laying off workers, and families are being forced to sell their gold savings just to survive. People are powerless in the face of inflation and joblessness. No one can start a business, and no company has the ability to hire. Meanwhile, neighboring countries—including the UAE, once one of Iran’s largest trading partners-are canceling residency visas and deporting Iranians. Executions continue, and almost every day brings news of another young life taken. The regime uses its own people as a shield while spending their money on bombs and missiles. Iran stands in its most fragile moment. If this path continues, the result will be a poor, isolated nation."
No, other countries around them also have Islamist hardliners running their governments, and they are generally better-off. I think these particular Islamist hardliners seem curiously indifferent to the well-being and prosperity of their citizenry, and that this war gives them an excuse to double-down on their decrepit incompetence and delay reforms. I do not think that they are fanatics because they are orthodox Muslims. I think they are fanatics because they have abandoned any interest in good governance, in order to pursue utopia by violent and tyrannical means. Ending the war won't change that.

No, we can't all see that. Iran has its own problems. It had them before they started getting bombed and it will have them after they stop being bombed. If anything, the fanatics are now stronger than ever before and will crack down even harder on people wanting personal freedom, so it's a terrible own-goal from America, for sure. On that note, nostr:npub155awg2vaen0vhd2spndg0f03wljewcp8gwd4d2kuhs8xpdq67tmsj39j44 how are things?

Pegah, everyone can see now that most of the problems people have in Iran, is due to USA and Israel who bomb schools and other civilian infrastructure and kill children and other civilians.

Thank you so much for paying the price to give us an insight to what is happening. I hope when you have consistent Internet again, that we can help recoup the costs with a large volume of sales. I'm curious what designs all of this will inspire. Keep imagining the paradise that can result from the ugliness of the present. It's a serious challenge, and I have faith that you can do it.

Replying to say despite her posts being glowie shitshit, her being on nostr makes me also hope she's ok - not that my opinion matters to anyone, I just don't want the historic record to look like I don't want safety for a nostr user in a place being bombed

I’m really glad you messaged, but I haven’t heard from my loved ones for almost four days now. Damn the oppressive regime of the Islamic Republic.
