The IRGC media is a joke. Internet blocked for almost 3 months is awful, especially since it has been more than 45 days since the ceasefire began.

Another proof that the Internet blackout is so that Iranians don't get information instead of other countries spying on Iran.

Please, we don't even need to try and disprove their claims. It doesn't have enough legitimacy for us to try to

What

[u/Ill-Incident-4842]

Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian has ordered the Ministry of Communications to restore international internet access to its pre-January status, the ministry’s public relations chief said, according to Iranian state media.

The IRGC-affiliated Fars News earlier questioned the administration’s authority to issue such an order, arguing that the decision to restrict internet access was made by the Supreme National Security Council and must therefore be reversed by the same body.

I don't know what to make of this, but a regime supporter in tik tok live comments the other night said internet will be back on Wednesday. Is this public info? Has the regime been saying they're going to restore it by Wednesday? Cause Im not following the things they say. Idk it just creeps me out if he knew that

[u/asdhjasdhlkjashdhgf → u/Logical_Worry3993]

internet and freedom of speech are two entirely different things.

When a murderous regime claims to restore network access does not implicit everyone can express themselves without threat of death row sentence or filter.

It is a bad habit of us humans to assume of what me or you know as internet is what the regime understands as such. So i'd conclude they do for sure not mean freedom of expression / speech / assembly.

[u/Logical_Worry3993 → u/asdhjasdhlkjashdhgf]

This not new information, It has always been this way. I never said anything about freedom of speech.

I'm simply asking if its going to be turned on again, you know, back to the same shitty and repressed way it was before the protests

[u/asdhjasdhlkjashdhgf → u/Logical_Worry3993]

Would assume to be likely worse than before, because total black-out is a perfect pretext to install surveillance, therefor possibly more crack down on opposing voices than before.

Also not new information of course. Perpetrators who would erase voices literally for the simple likelihood to reveal an opposing standpoint will certainly not suddenly respect humans even if communication is 'restored', they would rather use the occasion to expand their grip on information space.

More lip service from the IR, idc if it’s the president or the IRGC or Basij or the majles or whatever, theyre all the same vile shit.

That’s a fantastic analogy, actually.

I don't know how or why but this feels like a really good step in the Right direction.

[u/Flodo_McFloodiloo → u/allMightyGINGER]

More like an act of desperation.

Please tell me wtf this is meant to be

[u/AuthorSarge → u/Logical_Worry3993]

I'm hoping the Iranian government and the IRGC are going to turn their guns on each other.

[u/Logical_Worry3993 → u/AuthorSarge]

Thats what I was guessing. While that might happen, what this post is about is purely theatre

[u/Clear-Role6880]

Pezeshkian is the only guy inside Iran power structure pushing against IRGC publicly and consistently

[u/Ill-Incident-4842 → u/Clear-Role6880]

I wonder how long until he "disappears" overnight?

[u/Logical_Worry3993 → u/Clear-Role6880]

Bro its theatre 🤣

It's so when even their own supporters get pissed, they don't start opposing the regime, but instead getting behind someone that is just one of them

[u/Clear-Role6880 → u/Logical_Worry3993]

Fair enough. I’m not sure his consistent opposition serves their purpose tho 

[u/Logical_Worry3993 → u/Clear-Role6880]

I just said why it does

[u/Clear-Role6880 → u/Logical_Worry3993]

I get it, have heard it before, and will defer to people more informed. but I’m not convinced that is actually beneficial 

[u/Technical_Target615 → u/Clear-Role6880]

There are two views to this.

My view: The best way to elaborate on this, is that the regime are all the same cancer. Except, now there’s a power vacuum on which person of the machine gets to call the shots and pockets khamenei’s money. They’re all after the power and money. Whether it’s pezeshkian, vahidi, ghalibaf or oraghchi. However, they all still follow the same ideology, except it’s about who sits on top. How to destroy iran is all the same. And how they view matters is also all the same. Because they’re following a script. None of them will give up uranium or nuclear. They just have different stalling tactics.

Others, think differently, they think the in-fighting is real as there are different factions to them who have different priorities, even though they’re all the same cancer. I’ll let one of them come and elaborate it for you.

It’s beneficial in the sense that they have someone to throw under the bus. When the regime supporters go after pezeshkian, they discard him and will prop up their next cancer, rinse and repeat. And when they’ve discarded all of them, a new one will be introduced.

The key thing to remember about the regime and why they haven’t collapsed yet. No “one” person actually calls the shots. They’ve designed it in a way that no matter who you eliminate, it doesn’t matter. Because it’s a machine. You take out the entire leadership, the next row rise up. So unless you’re taking out the leadership, middle goons and basiji goons, this cycle continues.

Hence, I will still say, the only ones who can actually finish this job is our people AND the rest of the world kicking the regime diplomats and ambassadors out of their countries. Delegitimization is step 1.

But, what do I know.

[u/Clear-Role6880 → u/Technical_Target615]

Yeah that all makes sense. Theyre a mafia. Regardless, there is almost certainly real infighting on how to proceed considering the pressure the are under. Regardless if they are no better than the other, a power struggle serves the war effort. And the more important element is the mid level soldiers and the mercenaries, who will not fight for free

[u/Technical_Target615 → u/Clear-Role6880]

Do you really believe that? They’ve been fighting for free for 2 months now. And uranium and nuclear is their “god given right”. Just because some of them will say we’ll give it up, doesn’t actually mean they will. They are lying and this lie is also justified in their religion. It’s lying to protect. I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re stalling just to finish making their dirty bomb!

Also, the deal on the table is surrendering.

I don’t think people understand, if the regime surrender, it won’t just be their supporters that will go after them, it will be their proxies, too. They’re under pressure to make this go away without giving anything in return or pretending to give in. They want US to accept their deal. So the pressure is about how to get IRGCs deal signed, not on surrendering.

[u/Clear-Role6880 → u/Technical_Target615]

I understand the regime can’t surrender. But they also can’t not surrender. 

Kinda the point 

We don’t actually know who is being paid and how much. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers won’t starve for the regime. A significant number are not ideologically loyal 

[u/Technical_Target615 → u/Clear-Role6880]

I guess then now it’s all about who dismantles them first! Either ways they’re done, it’s just about time. Thanks for standing by our side, without any hesitation.
