Here's an idea: drop a few thousand free starlink receivers with strong wifi signals into residential areas.

Who knows? Perhaps Iran is the next South Korea.

DL gives it a month.

You?

10 years.

Much better odds than with Iraq or Afghanistan.

The regime may use them for disinformation.

But it gives Iranians a choice. It gives them uncensored internet access. The regime doesn't need starlink as it controls all the other internet access in the country.

Quote:

If they drop them from a plane they might get damaged electronics can be sensitive.

So put a parachute on them. It's not like the military has never come across the problem of how to drop supplies before.

The fighter jets currently flying over Iran don't have the ability to drop stuff with parachutes

Maybe this will change in another week or 2.

IDF USA and King Reza have told Iranians to stay home at this time

Leftists and the Ayatollahs have a lot in common when it comes to criticism of Islam, they don't tolerate it.

Iranian regime long and mid range rockets supply was estimated as about 3000.
With current usage rate it will dry out in a month.

This is the crucial question, and I believe the one that will determine the consequences of the current conflict. But it is also the hardest to answer, as not much news is coming out of Iran, and it is early days yet. Most Iranian expats seem to be supportive, but you would expect them to be the most hostile to the current regime. While the regime is not exactly popular inside Iran, there is also no organised opposition.

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cx2dyz6p3weo

Quote:

Videos circulating on social media showed people running in panic near sites of explosions. The sound of screams and crying could be heard in the background.

Trump then wrote on Truth Social: "Khamenei, one of the most evil people in History, is dead."

"He was unable to avoid our Intelligence and Highly Sophisticated Tracking Systems and, working closely with Israel, there was not a thing he, or the other leaders that have been killed along with him, could do. This is the single greatest chance for the Iranian people to take back their Country."

Despite a near-total internet blackout that monitors detected late on Saturday morning, several further waves of strikes and explosions were reported throughout the day.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02-28/what-we-know-about-the-israel-us-iran-strikes/106400988

Quote:

As the strikes mounted, at least two news agencies, Tasnim and IRNA, reported they were subjected to cyber attacks.

Internet disruptions have also been reported throughout Iran, with NetBlocks, an internet status watchdog, reporting that Iran is at a "near-total internet blackout" with national connectivity at 4 per cent.

It is unclear if the blackout is a result of the strikes or authorities in Tehran limiting internet access in the country.

Ah.

Ever get the feeling you've been fahmed?

That's a question, but I'm curious.

How are they going to organise erections, count the votes and mobilize the workforce to make Iran the next South Korea?

That's a question too.

The Iranian people are currently fasting for Ramadan. Your DL just ordered Maccas.

Allah Uakbar, no?

They/them most certainly do.

It is the holy month, insh'allah. Ramadan is one of the five pillars of Islam.

Be sure to grow your beard, shave your pubes and book your surgery too, dear boy. Gordon may know a good mohel.

He's intact.

If you’re wondering what mass third world migration looks like in practice, this happened on Sunday in MANASSAS, Virginia. It is happening in Sydney, too:

https://x.com/briannalyman2/status/2028508603691172235

Seventy-two Virginians honouring their leader.

The west's political class did this to their citizens. The men who stab, shoot, rape and run over do not have to have a uranium-enrichment programme. They just have to be - in increasing numbers, day on day - and they will win everything. Is there an "Epic Fury" to attend to that?

Liverpool mayor wasn't born in Australia.

The Aussie Iranians who are celebrating will be non muslims.
These are the ones carrying Flag with Lion and Rising sun

Those who mourn the Ayatollah will be Hezbollah Lebanese and supporters of Assad from Syria with Iranian muslims along with a few useful idiots for Islamic terrorists.

The Lindt siege terrorist was an Iranian muslim
