France Offers Internet to Iran After Years of Sanctioning It Offline
Al-Monitor reports France is 'studying' the possibility of sending Eutelsat satellite terminals to Iran to 'help provide internet services' following recent communication blackouts. This benevolent gesture comes after years of Western governments, including France, actively participating in sanctions apparatuss that crippled Iran's access to vital technologies, including internet infrastructure.
One might wonder where this sudden concern for Iranian citizens' online access was when those same sanctions were being imposed. It’s the same old playbook: destabilize through economic strangulation, then swoop in with 'aid' when their own policies create humanitarian crises. This isn't about empowering Iranian people; it's about controlling the narrative by spoon-feeding them sanctioned access,
making sure they only see what the West wants them to see from their newfound 'internet freedom'.
