Iranians able to make some international calls as internet remains blocked amid protests
Share
Category: BEAST SYSTEM
Summary:
Iranians were able to make some international phone calls on Tuesday for the first time since authorities imposed a widespread communications shutdown amid a crackdown on anti-government protests. However, text messaging remained disabled and internet access continued to be limited to government-approved domestic websites, keeping the country largely disconnected from the outside world. Security forces, including riot police and Revolutionary Guard units, maintained a heavy presence in central Tehran to contain unrest. Protests have erupted over Iran’s economic crisis, with reports of hundreds killed, damage to government offices and financial institutions, and increased international tensions involving the United States.

Scripture: Psalm 94:20-21
"Can a throne of destruction be allied with Thee, one which devises mischief by decree? They band themselves together against the life of the righteous, and condemn the innocent to death."
Commentary:
When authorities restrict access and deploy force against unrest, ordinary people feel both frustration and fear. The Scripture confronts systems that rule through oppression and decrees that harm their own people. The heavy control and violence bring the reality of power being used to preserve itself, not justice, into sharp relief. These patterns—suppression, enforced silence, and mass unrest—are prophetic signals the Bible describes as recurring before global shaking. It’s clear that in Tehran right now, people are bearing the immediate cost of these struggles.
Prophetic Trend:
Tightening state control over information and unrest echoes the prophetic rise of systems that suppress truth and resist accountability.
