Der Status Quo des Iran-Krieges sieht ganz anders aus als das, was die Akteure vorgegeben haben, erreichen zu wollen. Und die Interessen der Menschen im #Iran sind überhaupt nicht in den Verhandlungen vertreten.
Meine Einordnung dazu bei Deutschlandfunk:
I think he’s so desperate, and has gotten so bored of all of this, that the Iranian negotiating team could demand he hand over the keys to the White House and he’d agree.
Graph from NetBlocks showing network connectivity in Iran from 24 February 2026 to 21 April 2026. The y-axis represents normalized connectivity, ranging from 0% to 100%, and the x-axis represents the dates. The green line representing Iran's connectivity is high through the initial time period, with a sharp drop on the morning of 28 February. The continued drop in connectivity aligns with a nation-scale internet blackout imposed by authorities after joint military strikes by the US and Israel. A brief restoration was observed on 18 March. The minimum and current connectivity levels are indicated as 1% and 1%, respectively. The chart has a dark background with a red horizontal arrow labeled 'SHUTDOWN' indicating the disruption period, and the NetBlocks logo in the lower left corner with the Mapping Internet Freedom slogan.
📵 The #Iran internet blackout is now in its 53rd day after 1248 hours of disconnection from global networks. As authorities work to develop tiered access for select users and businesses, the human impacts and economic harms of this digital censorship measure continue to spiral.

⏱️ The internet blackout in #Iran has now surpassed the 1200 hour mark, continuing in its eighth week as of day 51.
As peace negotiations appear to flounder, one of the most important factors for Iranians, the restoration of international connectivity, is still overlooked.
I think he’s committed a catastrophic betrayal of Iranian people that’ll serve no one but the IRGC. He was always going to get bored, and the fact he’s already said there’s been regime change and is dealing with scum like Ghalibaf shows how little he cares about seeing it through.
The first US president to take direct action against the IR regime to this extent also happens to be one of the stupidest men alive.
Predictably he got bored though, and so now is negotiating with the remnants of a regime that deserves to drown in its own blood.

🗓️ #Iran has now been isolated from the global internet for seven weeks with the digital blackout entering its 50th day after 1176 hours.
Metrics show the measure, unprecedented for a connected society, continues to the detriment of most Iranians' livelihoods and human rights.
It’s more that the world tends not to care about Iranian youth being killed until the US or Israel end up involved.
There’ll be more protests in Iran in the future and thousands of young and old will be killed by regime forces - and the world will offer nothing but empty words
Don’t get me wrong, I know Trump and Netanyahu are no humanitarians nor do they care about Iranians - but the regime has been battered and many of its important figures thankfully killed.
Sadly Trump is dumb as hell and now that he’s bored, he’s dealing with the regime’s remnants
All war is. If you’re American I totally see why you wouldn’t want anything to do with it - they’re your servicemen and women at risk, and it’s money you probably can’t afford to spend.
As an Iranian, my focus and wish is for the regime to fall, and without outside help it is practically impossible
The intelligence has been able to take out some of the most senior regime figures who were already under heightened security. The intelligence is by and large very, very good.
What happened here was an example of when that intelligence fails. It happens, and the result is horrific
The regime revels in slaughtering its own children. It’s still executing protesters from January, many on charges of “Mohareb” - meaning “war against God”
I don’t believe the US or Israelis knowingly targeted children here (unlike in Gaza for example). Sadly these things happen
I think the most apt description of the regime is that it’s an occupying force. It hates the people, culture and heart of Iran.
And it’s infuriating that the rest of the world treats it with any kind of respect, rather than a mob of religious fanatics that need to be destroyed.
Possibly so. We’ll likely never know. What we do know is that the IRGC have been using civilians as human shields. Not saying that’s what happened here, but believe me when I say the regime doesn’t care if civilians get killed. The one thing they hate more than the US/Israel is the Iranian people
Mojtaba is likely in a coma, possibly even dead. His father ordered the mass killings in January and brought in Iraqis to help (and they returned last month).
Ali Khamenei was also 86 - his death was likely around the corner so the ones currently running Iran (the IRGC) were always next in line
It’s not. It was a horrific tragedy. It will never not be heartbreaking.
What is good though is the thousands and thousands of IRGC and Basij who have been killed along with more senior commanders, as well as that piece of shit Khamenei.
It’s infuriating. Someone on here recently put it perfectly: “it doesn’t matter if there’s a boot on the necks of Iranians, just as long as “fuck Israel” is written on the side of it”
They can’t see that Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah etc couldn’t care less about their own people.
Unconfirmed, but highly likely arms delivery from China.
As has happened before, and will happen again, the Iranian regime —like the russian regime and other terrorist regimes — will exploit ceasefires to replenish their weaponry with the help of their allies.
It’s the gross spectacle of campism.
Many people just refuse to see the Iranian regime for what it is because of their hatred of the US and Israel. Like you can’t be disgusted with each of them equally

⌛️ The internet shutdown in #Iran has now entered its 49th day after incident hour 1152. International connectivity remains low, around 2% of ordinary levels, despite some users gaining partial access to the Google search home page, as was also observed in the January blackout.
Exactly. The USA is locked into a two-party system run by oligarchs, but I was pointing out to you that civilians in Iran can’t elect their way out of the regime as it’s not an option. The only way the regime falls is by force from inside or out.
The IRGC doesn’t care about Palestinians. It funds Hamas for its own reasons, and none of them are out of care for the lives of Palestinian civilians
That’s that same whataboutery you mentioned earlier.
You asked about Iran. Here is the information.
And why assume everything that shows the Iranian regime as violent is propaganda? There’s a lot of that on both sides for sure, but Iranians will tell you themselves from experience - whether that’s info smuggled out, or from witnesses who’ve fled the country, or those who’ve managed to get online
Why do you assume I’m pro-Israel, or pro-Israeli action in Gaza?
I don’t think you understand just how repressive and violent Iran is to its own people…There is a reason so many cheered when Khamenei was killed or whenever an IRGC or Basij position was hit by an airstrike
Then you have been either selectively or ignorantly blind, my friend. I made a list for you here:
“And let civilians elect them out”
You can’t vote them out. The entire system of Velyat-e Faqih isn’t on the ballot card in Iranian elections. You can’t vote out the Islamic Republic as a system; you can only vote for those approved *by* the system.
Do you have any reason to dismiss the brutality of the regime towards Iranian people?
Like what’s the thing that makes you routinely go “I don’t believe the Iranian regime does X, Y and Z”?
Any time you see someone like this claim to be a humanitarian, or professing love for all, call them out on their bullshit.
These people hate the oppressed and love the oppressor as long as the the latter shares their distrust and opposition to the West.
If it rains in Tehran, these people blame Mossad and the CIA.
When they do bother to try and read news around the protests, it’s invariably from a regime linked source like Tasnim, because nothing outside of the regime is to be believed - especially not witness testimony from inside Iran.
