Well, they’re kinda busy right now getting bombed so I don’t think it’s a priority now. Like, sure, at first the blackout was due to repression, yes. But then after a while these two countries started bombing the crap out of Iran, so now it’s a slightly different situation. Let’s imagine you have two crackheads smashing your front door: are you gonna be worried about fixing the internet at that very moment?

Gives the regime a nice scapegoat to help turn the protestors anger at the US and external factors. The smart thing would have been for the US to quietly back the revolution and provide them with support to overthrow the regime. But here we are.

it likely wont happened as they likely quashed the protests with tons of executions, plus they can just turn of the internet to prevent them from organizing further. they did with the murder of the little iranian girl years ago, there wasnt significant pushback since.
