US President Donald Trump today accused Iran’s government of shutting down internet access to cover up death amid a wave of street protests.
Trump tweeted that Iran has become so unstable that the regime has shut down their entire Internet System so that the Iranian people cannot talk about the tremendous violence taking place within the country.
He said, the Iranian government want no transparency and thinking that the world will not find out the death and tragedy that the Regime is causing.
Over 106 people reported to be killed in ongoing protests.
Demonstrations erupted in Iran on Friday last week, hours after the price of petrol was raised by as much as 200 per cent and including the Capital Tehran, it spread to across the country.
Iran begins reconnecting internet
Meanwhile, internet access in the capital and a number of provinces is being gradually restored after a five-day nationwide shutdown meant to help stifle deadly protests over fuel price hikes.
State TV reported that the country’s elite Revolutionary Guard security force said, calm had now returned across the country. Semi-official news agency Fars reported the National Security Council that ordered the shutdown approved reactivating the internet in some areas.
