US EditionIranians Able to Make some Calls Abroad While Internet Access Is Still Out After Protests
Some Iranians managed international calls amid a government crackdown that cut internet and calls to disrupt protests sparked by economic hardship worsened by U.S. sanctions.
- On Tuesday, some Iranian mobile phones briefly placed international calls after a communications blackout, allowing several people in Tehran to reach The Associated Press and speak with journalists abroad.
- The protests began more than two weeks ago over soaring living costs and political repression, with Iranian authorities cutting internet access and blocking calls to stop outside orders and responding with heavy force and mass arrests.
- A brief reopening of lines on Tuesday allowed Shadi Dashmiz to speak with her 70-year-old father in Iran after nearly a week without contact, leaving her with mixed emotions.
- Despite limited reopening, many remained unable to reach relatives in Iran, and Toronto-based Iranians say authorities in Tehran appear to open international lines periodically to monitor communications.
- Pro-Government rallies and a harsh security response have intensified domestic and international tensions as U.S. President Donald Trump said Iran wants to negotiate after his threat and activists said at least 646 people died.
