Iran Disconnects Internet Services Amidst Widespread Economic Protests

Iran has severed internet and telephone services for its 85 million citizens, disconnecting them from the outside world amid nationwide protests over the country's economy. This move, reminiscent of tactics used during demonstrations and conflict, significantly hinders the sharing of images and accounts from the protests, which have become a major challenge to the government. Loved ones abroad express frantic anxiety for news, particularly as authorities warn that protesters could face charges of being an 'enemy of God,' a capital offense.
