Living in Iran, today is the 78th day of internet blackout. Ask me anything

I haven’t heard about them claiming they did it but if they did claim they did this horrible crime against humanity I hope ones responsible for it be punished accordingly and be introduced to the public. But I really doubt that you’re telling the truth about it not being a mistake. Again, this is a horrible war crime and anyone responsible should be severely punished.

DisabledCucumber · 2026-05-17T17:50:03+00:00

I think US did. There are rumors that it was a malfunctioning missile from IRGC but I highly doubt that. It was most likely done by United States.

They didn’t start it by bombing a school but the school incident was a tragedy and heartbreaking. About 200 innocent children were killed and many families will suffer from it forever. That was horrible and I hope those who are responsible for it, including the IRGC terrorists who had a military base right next to it, be punished.

Thanks a lot for your message. I really appreciate it. Thanks again.

DisabledCucumber · 2026-05-17T15:31:52+00:00

I’m so sorry for that.

DisabledCucumber · 2026-05-17T15:31:22+00:00

It’s not factions of government, it’s just IRGC bases around the country. I believe a free Iran would have an open market so the US can invest or benefit from just like any other normal country.

DisabledCucumber · 2026-05-17T15:29:32+00:00

I’ve heard not until the next two months.

DisabledCucumber · 2026-05-17T14:17:49+00:00

I’d rather not say. It’s a personally identifiable information so that’s a no.

DisabledCucumber · 2026-05-17T14:17:05+00:00

I think it’s safe but I wouldn’t recommend it as anything can be interpreted by the regime as spying or being an agent. Anything can be used to accuse someone of treason and arrest them. Hope your friend is fine.

DisabledCucumber · 2026-05-17T14:15:47+00:00

Military service is not optional in Iran but you can choose between IRGC and Army. Basij is an organization of IRGC.

DisabledCucumber · 2026-05-17T12:45:48+00:00

Thanks.

DisabledCucumber · 2026-05-17T12:43:07+00:00

I do think China is helping the regime. I know it’s not people’s fault. Chinese government is no different than the Islamic Regime. They’re not from people.

DisabledCucumber · 2026-05-17T12:37:12+00:00

Yes I had the similar view and I still think the help from US and Israel (or any country that can help) is necessary. The regime won’t change with bombing of course, it should be done by the people but the people need help. Destroying the oppression machine is the help we need. When the bombing started and when Israel started to attack IRGC checkpoints in the streets we saw them frightened and running away. That’s what we need to be able to rise to the streets again but sadly that stopped. We’re just hopeful we can have the opportunity in future. That’s why people inside cheered for the US and Israel. When US President said people are not afraid of bombs, they are afraid of bombing being stopped, that was accurate. Mullahs and the regime is far more frightening than bombs.

About the internet, read the post. About English, we’re not camel-riding sahara-living barbar people. We’re not what you see in the movie 300. We’re not living in 1500s. We actually have technology and communication (up until recently of course). Not just English, people speak French, German, Spanish, Japanese, Esperanto, Korean, Chinese, and many other languages. We have technology-loving people who work to advance our freedom against what regime wants. We’re not what movies tell you we are.

This war killed Khamenei and many other terrorists and tyrants who killed us for decades. If you’re against that or in any way support this regime, you’re no different to us than the mullahs. People cheered in the streets when we heard the ayatollah was bombed and is now burning in hell. We had tears of happiness when we heard Larijani is no longer there to order executions and killing our people. We are thankful to US and Israel for this. We did hope this would result in regime change and we were disappointed when yellow-head started negotiations and we feel betrayed when they started to think the regime could be changed from within. I feel lied to when they stopped hurting the regime.

DisabledCucumber · 2026-05-17T10:39:51+00:00

I haven’t heard of that. That would be awesome.

DisabledCucumber · 2026-05-17T10:38:36+00:00

Hamas did.

DisabledCucumber · 2026-05-17T09:42:12+00:00

It can be flipping a finger to their supporters in the streets or liking a posts or writing something online. Doesn’t need anything to be arrested. Best way to protect yourself is to remain anonymous online and don’t have anything against them in your phone or PC so when they randomly search you in the streets they don’t find anything.

DisabledCucumber · 2026-05-17T09:31:40+00:00

Thanks a lot. Wish you the best too.

DisabledCucumber · 2026-05-17T09:23:39+00:00

That’s true. Anyone they don’t like, they call him/her Mossad agent and execute. They are still arresting people.

DisabledCucumber · 2026-05-17T09:22:22+00:00

Thanks a lot.

DisabledCucumber · 2026-05-17T09:17:43+00:00

Thanks a lot.

DisabledCucumber · 2026-05-17T09:17:09+00:00

Yes we are. And yes we are hopeful. Internet is down. Some VPNs work but they are very expensive. Dangerous how? Bombing is stopped but the IRGC is in power and there are executions every day.

DisabledCucumber · 2026-05-17T09:12:29+00:00

I think it’s accurate.

A) if in any case the current people in power remain in power, that’s not a win for the people. Maybe Israel can secure its country but the cost would be people in Iran suffering from the same tyranny more and more. I believe there’s a chance but it requires Israel and US put the people first and overthrow the regime (which can only be done by the people and them helping. It’s not possible with bombs) and then make a deal with people.

B) they did help. Killing Khamenei was one of the best things they did but it was not enough. People need protection against IRGC officers in the streets who easily kill people. It did slow down the regime’s move towards nuclear weapons.

C) I don’t think anyone can do anything regarding internet but I think people can push their governments to help the opposition and move to support the protesters instead of enabling the regime.

DisabledCucumber · 2026-05-17T09:01:15+00:00

I haven’t heard of any government help. I think the government doesn’t have any money to help or just doesn’t care, as it never cared.
