DW Finds Iran's Blackout 'More Serious' – Ignores US Sanctions' Role
Deutsche Welle gravely warns that Iran's communication blackout is 'more serious' than ever, implying a unilateral, malicious act by Tehran. Yet, astonishingly, the article avoids any meaningful discussion of the crushing U.S. sanctions that have deliberately isolated Iran from global infrastructure, including critical technologies for internet access and maintenance. One might wonder if DW forgot
about the very foundational reason Iranian citizens struggle to connect. It's curious, isn't it? The same Western governments that impose sanctions crippling a nation's ability to upgrade or even maintain basic digital infrastructure then express outrage when that nation's communication systems are, for some inexplicable reason, subpar or restricted. This isn't a problem, it's a feature. The
playbook is simple: isolate, then complain about the isolation; cripple, then lament the lack of functioning systems. The silence on the role of those very sanctions speaks volumes about the narratives they prefer to push.
