At the same time, similar reports have been received from Kermanshah and Sanandaj, indicating that this process has expanded to several cities. According to residents, the main aim of these measures is to minimize people’s connection with media outlets and the outside world amid an intensifying security environment.
These actions are taking place as internet restrictions and pressure on the free flow of information have increased in recent weeks, and the confiscation of satellite equipment may be part of the authorities’ efforts to exert full control over information dissemination and prevent citizens’ access to independent news.
