Good luck trying to take something back from the populace once already given for decades, even if it is in a limited form. It's a desperate attempt, that really shows how cornered the administration is. Any power that fears information, has to have a highly fine grained, high level control of information to maintain power. This is absolutely difficult, in a country as culturally diverse and with a long history as Iran. | ||

It not just information, but capital (crypto) - think prediction markets and their influence: https://polymarket.com/event/khamenei-out-as-supreme-leader-... "In addition to the central bank, it seems as though regular Iranians are seeking the perceived safety of cryptocurrencies as unrest disrupts the country and the economy collapses." https://www.coindesk.com/business/2026/01/21/iran-s-central-... | ||
