Khamenei Blames Trump as Iran Maintains Near-Total Blackout and Faces Rising Isolation

Connectivity remains minimal, pointing to a prolonged blackout and mounting international fallout.

Overview

  • Iran’s supreme leader accused President Donald Trump of orchestrating the unrest, acknowledged thousands of deaths and pledged a harsh response against what he called insurgents.
  • Independent monitors report national connectivity at roughly two percent of normal levels with no sign of a broad restoration.
  • Authorities have allowed limited domestic SMS and access to the state-run intranet while foreign internet services remain cut, and reporting indicates Starlink links were disrupted with jammers.
  • The Munich Security Conference revoked invitations to Iranian officials and Europe’s aviation regulator urged airlines to avoid Iranian airspace over escalation risk.
  • The US says all options remain on the table as Trump publicly thanked Tehran for halting planned executions, while HRANA reports around 3,090 deaths and tens of thousands detained under a crackdown that has quieted protests in Tehran.
