Iran Super Thread- Merged

[Kirkhill]

I was just commenting last night how I feel less informed now with all this information available because I have no sense of what is real. And it is worse with all these AI generated pictures and stories.

Now here's a funny thing. And us just talking about information control, reliability and influence affairs. And then this turns up. When the Ayatollahs and the IRGC couldn't control the output from home they pulled the plug on their servers.

And the Scots Nationalists went dark.

I haven't seen our Hamas fellow travellers inour streets recently. Have their sites gone dark as well?

Disruption is the goal. That is all.

Are we still talking about Iran? So many autocracies.....

... can't keep 'em sorted without a program these days, right?

Yeah, that is a bit more Rorschach-ian/multi-purpose than I first planned - good catch

Not sure any of us have mentioned it in this thread in the past week but it looks like Iran’s currency has essentially completely collapsed on foreign exchange markets. I’m not sure if there even are any still relevant figures on inflation right now given the rapidly developing events.

That's certainly another indicator this could be the real collapse.

If anyone did believe the regime and the currency can recover from this, and it was possible to buy Iranian Rial, you would think financial institutions would take advantage of this and buy it up while it's essentially worthless.

This is looking like it's going to be a massive hyperinflation / humanitarian nightmare for the Iranian people.

I have a word for people like that but it would get me censured if I used it here.
Suffice it to say it’s applicable to females and males.
