Trump sending message the US is holding all the cards, Iran disagrees

By Patty Culhane

Reporting from Wahington, DC, United States

What a difference 24 hours makes. There was a lot of optimism that potentially the deal could even be signed on Sunday, just about right now,but now we’re hearing more of a cautious tone from White House officials, saying that there are still a few areas that need to be negotiated.

They’re not casting doubt on that they are going to get there,but they are casting doubt on it being anytime very soon; they said it might be days.

As we’ve seen throughout this conflict, we’ll hear something from the Trump administration about something they believed to be settled,and then Iranians will say, “That’s not at all where we’re at.”

That continues, granted with much higher stakes because the world was starting to look at what the US president said was going to happen, which was the Strait of Hormuz was going to be reopened.

There’s been an internal intelligence report in the US that leaked to the major newspapers that said Iran can basically sustain its current state for three to four months. Whether or not the global economy can withstand these oil prices for that long without tipping into a deeper recession remains to be seen.

The president is sending the message that he believes the US is holding all the cards; Iran is sending the message that, no, they don’t.

(https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2026/5/24/live-trump-says-new-iran-deal-largely-negotiated-with-talks-very-soon?update=4598827

The Iranians think they are more powerful than Trump. They lie all the time so there’s no way to confirm that they can last 3 to 4 more months.

The Intelligence System and Why Tulsi Gabbard Was Essentially the First DNI 1/3

May 24, 2026 | Sundance |

Against the backdrop of Tulsi Gabbard resigning her position as Director of National Intelligence, there is an opportunity to explain how the Washington DC Intelligence Community functions in real life.

ODNI Tulsi Gabbard has rightly been receiving a lot of praise for her efforts at removing the shroud of secrecy that is often used by an intensely territorial IC network. Simultaneously, she has received criticism or what Machiavelli called, “the enmity of all who would profit by the preservation of the old institution”; because, in reality Tulsi Gabbard might be considered the first functional DNI.

One of the reasons Tulsi Gabbard was effective was her willingness to answer this question:

It was DNI Tulsi Gabbard who released the receipts showing how the CIA and IC ran an impeachment operation against President Trump. CIA operative Eric Ciarmella, ICIG Michael Atkinson and HPSCI Chairman Adam Schiff all collaboratively involved.

Here it becomes more important for the next sequence of events to fully understand what it was about Tulsi Gabbard in the position of DNI that made such a big difference. What was it about her approach to the office of the DNI that made Gabbard stand out? This is a discussion worth having.

You may have seen reports of the CIA essentially spying on Tulsi Gabbard. However, no one running with that narrative realizes how silly that sounds to those who understand how the silo system works within the intelligence community.

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) is a hub, an interface, a central repository for all intelligence information that can be viewed, analyzed and shared with federal law enforcement, specifically the FBI. The ODNI operates on essentially the same system as the CIA and NSA for intelligence information. These sub-silos/offices are territorial yes, but they are not adversarial.

Tulsi Gabbard is not fighting with CIA Director John Ratcliffe, and the CIA doesn’t need to “raid” anything because the DNI and CIA are using the same information network interface. The DNI works within the CIA database. Yes, on paper both the CIA and NSA report to the DNI, but they do not operate disconnected information systems. The CIA, NSA and DNI work through the same computer interface, with varying levels of access.

HISTORY: In the era shortly after 9/11, the DC national security apparatus was constructed to preserve continuity of government and simultaneously view all Americans as potential threats. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) were created specifically for this purpose. Washington DC created the modern national security apparatus immediately and hurriedly after 9/11/01. DHS came along in 2002 and within the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 the ODNI was formed.

Porter Goss was the last director of Central Intelligence (DCI) from 2004 to 2005. He then became the first director of the Central Intelligence Agency following the passage of the 2004 Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act, which abolished the DCI position and replaced it with the Director of National Intelligence on December 17, 2004. [Goss resigned as Director of the CIA on May 5, 2006.]

The first DNI was former U.S. ambassador to Iraq John Negroponte who was appointed on February 17, 2005, by President George W. Bush. On February 13, 2007, Mike McConnell became the second director of national intelligence, after Negroponte was appointed Deputy Secretary of State. On January 29, 2009, retired Navy admiral Dennis C. Blair became the third DNI on after being nominated by newly inaugurated President Barack Obama. President Obama dismissed Blair whose resignation became effective May 28, 2010. Obama then appointed an intentional doofus, James Clapper.

>>24642672

2/3

Thanks to the manipulative efforts of then Vice-President Mike Pence, the fifth DNI was fellow Hoosier, Dan Coats, who was a former member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI). Coats left after the 2019 impeachment began. The sixth DNI, John Ratcliffe, was confirmed May 21, 2020. The seventh DNI was Avril Haines, who took office on January 21, 2021 and stayed throughout Biden’s term in office until January 2025.

The important takeaway here is to understand that none of these former officials to hold the DNI position every fulfilled the legislated and authorized function of the DNI as the top of the Intelligence Community system. Instead, they ran the DNI office as a separate silo disconnected from the other legacy networks. All of it was essentially status quo, until Tulsi Gabbard arrived.

[NOTE: Throughout 2024 you may even remember CTH outlining how the DNI position had power that was never fully understood, because it was never activated. All of the IC silos fall under the ODNI, yet none of the prior Directors used the power of this office. CTH made the case of the DNI position being a great possibility for change. The DNI can reach into any IC sub-silo, extract any intelligence product, review it and declassify it with the support of the President. That’s exactly what Tulsi Gabbard started doing.]

Now, because the DNI is a hub – the office operates in a full 360° spectrum over both foreign and domestic intelligence affairs.

On the domestic side, Tulsi reached into the HPSCI for the Atkinson transcript, because the Intelligence Community Inspector General (IC IG) works for the DNI. Working with CIA Director John Ratcliffe, Tulsi also took control of the President’s Daily Brief (PDB) and also took the Intelligence Advisory Board out of the CIA and put it under the ODNI.

Again, working collaboratively, Gabbard pulled the background material behind the CIA’s 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) out of the CIA declassified it any gave it to the public. She also released the HPSCI report on the ICA highlighting the politicization of it. Additionally, she released all the background material showing how John Brennan, James Comey and James Clapper coordinated with the Obama White House on the Trump targeting effort.

All of that was simply by using the power of the office that always existed but had never been used.

On the international side of the ODNI authority, often people get confused about how this all works, so I tried to create an analogy that would help make it easier to digest. You have heard me say for years now, about the restaurant analogy for the Dept of State.

♦ Historically: The Secretary of State is the maître d’. DoS/CIA personnel are the wait staff. The CIA Director is the chef in the kitchen. USAID were the food runners, and the Dept of War were the bus boys. Every nation gets a different menu…. and, the important part, Israel has a table in the kitchen.

Congress eats for free, and for the past several years the ever-arbitrary client Ukraine was the biggest tipper who obnoxiously reminded the staff.

Notice. No where in this analogy do you see the DNI.

There’s a reason for that.

Until Tulsi Gabbard entered the IC system, no DNI ever engaged in this process. [REMINDER HERE] Tulsi Gabbard did. Strongly.As a consequence, everyone within that historic operation viewed Mrs. Gabbard as a threat.

https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2026/05/24/the-intelligence-system-and-why-tulsi-gabbard-was-essentially-the-first-dni/

>>24642677

3/3

Gabbard walked into the restaurant, selected her own seat, started to look at the menu options, and began closely watching how the employees were interacting and asking what their functional value to the American people who are paying the bills.

Tulsi Gabbard didn’t do this arbitrarily. Again, look at the operation described. In 2025, Marco Rubio is the maître d’, and John Ratcliffe is the chef. It was all of the people who “profit by the preservation of the old institution” who immediately became the people who freaked out.

♦ Sticking with the metaphor, the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) is like the public Health Dept. They are supposed to do the food safety and quality inspections.

Unfortunately, the SSCI inspectors are easily bribed and as a consequence there is no oversight per se. The Restaurant donates to the health inspectors, provides them influence and affluence, and like a mafia operation the inspectors fear the restaurant owners they are supposed to oversee. [Schumer: “Seven ways from Sunday”]

For decades the multinational restaurant business operated without interruption. Each maître d’ simply smiled and casually palmed the indulgency bribes from the arriving guests. The status of the restaurant expanded with everyone making bank.

Tulsi just walking in and sitting down was like Eliot Ness casually walking into Al Capone’s favorite speakeasy. The IC equivalent of a WTF moment.

Now, here it becomes important to think about the technical processes that were used with the ODNI was created, and how Tulsi essentially is the very first DNI that wasn’t appointed purposefully just to retain the Patriot Act status quo.

From that perspective, America’s first fully matriculated DNI is Tulsi Gabbard. The rest were placeholders for the status quo; inserted to retain the power of the CIA and the systems of their familiarity.

During the Bush, Obama, Trump (T1) and Biden terms, the IC interface never changed. The basic way the IC system operated was the same. The Dept of State did their thing; the CIA was inside and part of the support system; the FBI/DOJ did their corrupt Lawfare stuff domestically and the DNI was irrelevant.

Go back and look at it. It was only after Tulsi Gabbard became DNI that the office truly opened up, and the long-neglected, albeit new systems meant to run the control mechanisms were finally dusted off and put to use.

I’m certain, much to the dismay of the DC stakeholders, a lot more information will become public in the next 30-days.

Remember, we are inside every facility, every institution, every meeting, every moment of their existence – and we notice everything. We are there when they do not expect, and we melt away before they notice our appearance. We see what they hide, we hear what they whisper, we decipher their codes, and we understand the complexity they create in their effort to conceal. We go to the places we know they will travel. We have allies and resources inside the core of their machinery. We understand what and why everything is being constructed, and we share all the information we discover. The truth isn’t mean; it’s just The Truth. Oh, and yeah, when I was a kid, Porter Goss was my neighbor. ~ Sundance

Secretary of State Marco Rubio and India’s External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar Hold a Press Conference

May 24, 2026 | Sundance |

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and India’s External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar hold a press conference in New Delhi during Rubio’s first official trip to India.

In continuation of President Trump’s Indo-Pacific strategy,Secretary Rubio notes that India has become one of America’s most strategic partnerships in the world. Both nations represent the world’s largest democracies, and both nations face internal scrutiny as an outcome of their need to be open and accountable to the people they represent.

Additionally,the trade and economic partnership between the USA and India is critical to hedge against the influence by Chinese expansion.

The question and media answers begin at 16:10, with thefirst question asking about U.S. policy that no longer supports mass visa opportunities for Indian residents.

Rubio notes the same visa restrictions that are in place now against India are the same visa limits now in place against the entire globe. The process to reform and/or change how immigration takes place always creates some friction points. WATCH:

President Trump Notes the Outlines of a Negotiated Deal with Iran – Some Details Emerge

May 24, 2026 | Sundance1/2

Delivering two messages today from his Truth Social account, President Trump notes the Pakistani and Arab negotiating teams are close to terms of an agreement.However, President Trump emphasizes that any negotiated end to the conflict must include the complete elimination of Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

PRESIDENT TRUMP – “If I make a deal with Iran, it will be a good and proper one, not like the one made by Obama, which gave Iran massive amounts of CASH, and a clear and open path to a Nuclear Weapon. Our deal is the exact opposite, but nobody has seen it, or knows what it is. It isn’t even fully negotiated yet.So don’t listen to the losers, who are critical about something they know nothing about. Unlike those before me who should have solved this problem many years ago, I don’t make bad deals!” ~ President DJT

EARLIER – “One of the worst deals ever made by our Country was the Iran Nuclear Deal, put forth and signed into existence by Barack Hussein Obama and the rank amateurs of the Obama Administration. It was a direct path to Iran developing a Nuclear Weapon. Not so with the transaction currently being negotiated with Iran by the Trump Administration – THE EXACT OPPOSITE, in fact! The negotiations are proceeding in an orderly and constructive manner, and I have informed my representatives not to rush into a deal in that time is on our side. The Blockade will remain in full force and effect until an agreement is reached, certified, and signed. Both sides must take their time and get it right. There can be no mistakes! Our relationship with Iran is becoming a much more professional and productive one. They must understand, however, that they cannot develop or procure a Nuclear Weapon or Bomb. I would like to thank, thus far, all of the countries of the Middle East for their support and cooperation, which will be further enhanced and strengthened by their joining the Nations of the historic Abraham Accords and, who knows, perhaps the Islamic Republic of Iran would like to join, as well! Thank you for your attention to this matter. ~ President DONALD J. TRUMP

It is doubtful the finalized terms will be released today. However, Scott Jennings is reporting on some of the outlines of the agreement after he had discussions with a “senior Trump official” directly involved in the negotiations.

According to Jennings:

-USA IS NOT GIVING IRANIANS MONEY FOR NOTHING. All speculation and propaganda to the contrary is false. Some hardline elements of Iran’s govt (IRGC) have pushed fake stories & propaganda to try to kill this negotiation.

-Iran deal is NOT done (95%, but still haggling over some language). No deal being signed today. May be a few more days before this is done.

-Iran will NOT get any money or sanctions relief up front.

-Iran must turn over nuclear stockpile to get anything. USA position is that failure to meet deal commitments means Iran gets nothing.

-Long term USA objective is preventing Iran from having nuclear weapon.

-Initial deal point is to re-establish free flow of commerce by reopening Strait of Hormuz.

>>24642747

2/2

Deal should have 2 phases:

Step 1 – Open Strait of Hormuz. Give world economy breathing room. Iran agrees to give up enriched uranium.

Step 2 – Get the nuclear material turned over. Only then can Iran get sanctions relief.

Bottom line: goal is to make a deal that lowers costs for Americans, calms world energy markets, and guarantees that Iranians cannot have a nuclear weapon over the long term. We aren’t there yet. Iran takes forever to get you a response on even small things. But we are close although it still could be a few days.

“If we get what we are demanding, this is going to be a historic deal,” SAO says.

SAO sounds prepared to do no deal at all if all Iran will do is a “bad deal.” SAO admits deal could fall apart yet. But if a deal is reached, SAO expects very senior USA admin officials to take part in a signing ceremony of some sort.

Iran has agreed in principle to the framework but there are still a couple points USA isn’t satisfied with. 95% done. But literally changing words sometimes requires days in Iran’s system. Haggling over language. But USA feels like we have a commitment on nuclear stockpile and on opening Strait of Hormuz.

If IRAN doesn’t deliver on commitments, they get nothing.

“Iran’s ability to project power is a lot more limited than it was two months ago,” SAO says. “Their industrial base for building ballistic missiles has been substantially destroyed.” {source}

Multiple key republican senators like Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham are not happy with what they are hearing. Most of the Israel-First ‘influencers’ are also not happy. Mark Levin and Laura Loomer are particularly upset. However, as with all things that involve rumor and speculation, the best approach is to wait and see what the deal entails. (Why is Loomer or Levin even listened to?)

I trust President Trump to find the optimal solution.

Marco Rubio Tell Indians: U.S. Migration Policy Must Be Pro-American. 1/3

Neil Munro24 May 2026

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has rebuffed Indians’ angry criticisms of President Donald Trump’s migration policy, which threatens to curb the movement of many Indians into Americans’ neighborhoods, jobs, and schools. (Yes, that would be fine with me)

“Everything that you do as a countryneeds to be in your national interest, and that includes your immigration policy,” Rubio said during a press conference in New Delhi, India, on Sunday.

He offered some reassurance to Indians, whose economic strategysends millions of young Indian migrants to the United States, Europe, and the Middle East:

Anytime you reform a system, there’s going to be some disruptions, there’s going to be some hiccups, there’s going to be some inconvenience, but we think in the long term we’re going to have a system that’s much more stable, much more viable.

On Friday, for example,top officials announced new rules that effectively deny legalization to millions of resident migrants who broke U.S. laws. Thatrule, for example, would likely block the legalization of many Indians who broke U.S. laws to get jobsin Indian-operated hotels, restaurants, and franchise outlets.

At the press conference with Rubio, India’s foreign minister, Subrahmanyam Jaishankar,politely warned Rubio that migration curbs might result in India reducing its purchases of U.S. grains, oil, and various products:

While we cooperate to deal with illegal and irregular mobility, our expectation is that legal mobility would not be adversely impacted as a consequence. After all, this is very relevant to our business, technology, and research cooperation.

Since at least 1990, India’s predatory migration strategy has proved extremely successful. For example,India has ruthlessly worked with U.S. investors to enroll mixed-skill Indians in the L-1, H-1B, H4EAD, and OPT programs. That combined effort has pushed many Indians into the heart of American industries and has pulled many Americans’ jobs and much Wall Street investment back into India.

Roughly 5 million Indians now live in the United States.

Many U.S. lobbyists, lawyers, and immigration reformersexpect that Wall Street lobbyists will ensure that Trump’s new legalization curbs will be applied loosely to India’s white-collar graduatesin the tech sector.

But they also expect the rules to pressure many illegal, temporary, and quasi-legal migrants to leave the United States, such as the many Biden-era economic migrants who were given parole at the border or Temporary Protected Status after their illegal migration.

>>24642834

2/3

Rubio diplomatically zig-zagged through the sometimes-hostileIndian press conference, without making any public concessions to India’s demandsfor more Indian migration into Americans’ society:

He was asked:

Indian students, engineers, doctors, researchers have contributed enormously to U.S. economy and innovation ecosystems,but the recent changes in F-1 [student] visa, H-1B [white collar] visa are being seen in India as hurting the core pillar of people-to-people relationships [migration]?What does your administration have to say about this in regard to Indians, and the message to Indians in this regard?

Rubio responded:

I take and accept what you just said about the contribution that Indians have made to the U.S. economy. Over $20 billion has been invested in the U.S. economy by Indian companies. We want that number to continue to increase, and obviously, the expertise as well that they’ve provided to our economy has been very, very valuable.

The changes that are happening now, the modernization of our migration system into the United States … is not India-specific. It is global, it’s being applied across the world. We are in a period of modernization,and I’ll be frank and honest with you, because it’s important to talk about this.

We’ve had a migratory crisis in the United States. This is not because of India, but broadly.We had over 20 million people illegally enter the United States over the last few years, and we’ve had to address that challenge.

In addition to that challenge, and I think this is true for India, this is true for every country in the world;Everything that you do as a country needs to be in your national interest, and that includes your immigration policy.

The United States, I believe, is the most welcoming country in the world. … Every single year, a million people roughly become permanent residents of the United States and contribute greatly. My parents entered the United States as permanent residents in 1956 from Cuba, andso it’s a process that’s enriched us, but it has to be a process that’s adjusted in every era to the realities of the modern times in which you live. It is long overdue.

Rubio continued:

So, the United States is currently undergoing a process of reforming the system by which we choose how many people come into our country, who comes in, when they come in, etc. Anytime you undertake a reform, anytime you undertake a change in the system by which you admit people, or frankly, anytime you undertake a reform in any system, not just on immigration —there’s going to be a period of transition that’s going to create, you know, some friction points and some difficulties… I think we’re going to wind up with a system that’s more efficient and better than the previous system

https://www.breitbart.com/economy/2026/05/24/rubio-tell-indians-u-s-migration-policy-must-be-pro-american/

>>24642837

3/3

What I want to leave clear is that the changes, while they may be having a disproportionate impact on a place like Indiathat provides so many high-skilled workers to the U.S. economy,it is not a system that is targeted in India is one that’s being applied globally, but we’re in a period of transition, and like any period of transition, you know, there’s going to be some bumps on that road.

But we think ultimately our destination isgoing to be a better system, a more efficient systemthat works better than the one that we had in place previously. And more sustainable, by the way.

So far, Trump has largely protected the white-collar programs used by the Indian government and by Chinese policymakers, even as he has established many new programs to block illegal migrants and to deport at least 800,000.

Those trade policies have pushed millions of ordinary white-collar Americans out of professional jobs, and shifted vast wealth to Indians, Wall Street, U.S. universities, and some U.S. export industries.This vast economic transfer has fueled the rising white-collar opposition to migration — and is spurring much sharp-edged criticismof Indian migrants in the United States.

But Rubio’s pro-American policiesare a vast improvement for Americans than the pro-migration policies of the Biden administration.

“Since becoming Ambassador, we’ve increased our visas by more than 60 percent, eliminated wait times for all visa types, except for first-time visitor visas,” Biden’s ambassador to India — Ambassador Eric Garcetti — said in his departure speech in January 2025.

Garcetti continued, “For a second year in a row, we issued more than one million nonimmigrant visas, including a record number of visitor visas … more than five million Indians currently hold a [multi-year, multi-use] United States visa.”

In 2022, one Indian visa worker told Breitbart News:

The embassy has become so easy, the people can just walk over them, and they will just issue the visa. It’s no big deal now.Sham marriages are no big deal. Tourist visas? People don’t even have to prove anything. They just go [answer] two questions for the sake of it. I follow [social media] groups …. where these people post their experiences from interviews, and every second interview experience [reported] that “this officer only asked me, ‘Where are you going?’ The officer only asked me, ‘Are you going on this visa?’ The people only asked me if you’re going to stay for long. ‘Okay, done. Here’s your visa.”

“More than two million Indians traveled to the United States in the first eleven months of 2024, a 26 percent increase over the same period in 2023,”Garcetti’s deputies said in a December 27, 2024, note titled “U.S. Mission to India Continues to Break Records in 2024.”. (So under Bidan any kind of terrorist of criminal could walk in and illegally get legal papers to be here!!!)

https://www.breitbart.com/economy/2026/05/24/rubio-tell-indians-u-s-migration-policy-must-be-pro-american/

(I was invited to an Indian business friend, daughter’s wedding, not really my place, but I went. His wife kept on asking for $100 bills, even though I brought an expensive gift. It pissed me off she kept on asking.)

>>24642857

Gauche but they are never embarrassed. It’s peculiar. I guess we are too. Especially anons, KEK!

A business friend from India said don’t go to India alone, it’s not a safe place for certain regions, not just women but even guys need Indian friends to be with them to be safe.

I don’t mean to generalize to all Indians from India, so anyone here don’t take it personal.

Dear Mr.@realDonaldTrump

The regime in Iran is lying to you and your negotiators (period, stop!). Do not believe a word they say. I know you want to get out of this mess. All Americans want this unnecessary war to end.

Keep in mind, as you have been told many times, Iran is still the leading state sponsor of terrorism (all anyone needs to say is Hezbollah, Hamas & Houthis, never mind IRGC-QF). None of these organizations are going away with this deal.

How about getting them to first publicly apologize for killing American Soldiers and U.S. Marines many times over (especially on this Memorial Day weekend). Yes, we are all sick of it.

And yes, the people of Iran must step up, but we need to signal to them, we will not concede their freedoms to the insane regime in Teheran. They deserve better. If we don’t, we will cause an entire population to be enslaved. For this, we have to smartly use our Middle East partners to support them along with our covert and clandestine operators. Trust me, if you support, this is very doable.

Anyway, I’m watching everything (like most of the world is) and admittedly I do not have all the information. But if we pay tribute to the regime to the tune of $25B, I’m concerned they’ll use it for nefarious purposes down the road.

No nukes in Iran may be a noble idea (an end goal for your administration) but the regime has blatantly lied to our faces before, why do you now believe they will tell you the truth?

Give it some thought. Get some out of the box solutions, and rethink your position. The art of the deal tells you to do that from time to time.

Now may be that time.

Why to hell did he send a letter or message publicly, that’s just militarily inappropriate and disrespecting to the CiC and President. Flynn has lost his freaking mind, and his arrogance is probably what got him in trouble in the first place!

Honestly he’s even insinuating Trump doesn’t know what he’s doing, even surrounded high level people and military. Why does Flynn think he can out think all of them!

He is making a lot of assumptions when he doesn’t even know what’s going on. And he didn’t even address him, as Dear Mr. President!

Pezeshkian adviser says Iran has undisclosed oil export routes3 hours ago

Masoumeh Aghapour, an economic adviser to Iranian President Massoud Pezeshkian, saidIran’s oil exports cannot be reduced to zero despite pressure and sanctions.

Aghapour saidIran has alternative export routes and oil infrastructure beyond Kharg Island and the country’s southern export terminals, though she declined to provide details.

“We have other routes and other oil resources in other regions for exports, which we are not going to reveal,” she said.

(Does she really believe the US Military is not aware of their alternative routes, she’s either horribly arrogant or horribly stupid)

AnalysisIran is turning the internet into a privilege

Nima Akbarpour Technology Analyst 3 hours ago.1/2

The internet was once seen in Iran as a gateway to the outside world, but it is increasingly being reshaped into something narrower and more conditional: a privilege that can be restricted, filtered or priced at will.

After two months offline, Morteza finally managed to reconnect for a few minutes and send a message to a group of old friends.

“Hi guys, do you know any VPN that actually works?” he wrote. “I’m locked out of my hearing-aid account. I can’t update it.”

The message captured something many Iranians have been trying to explain for months:the country’s internet crisis is no longer just about Instagram, Telegram or access to foreign news websites. The internet has become woven into nearly every aspect of daily life: from work and banking to transportation, education and healthcare.

Iran’s latest shutdown, which began on February 28 and continues in various forms, has become one of the longest nationwide internet disruptions in the world.

Even global tech companies have begun to feel its effects. Meta, the owner of WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram, recently reported that the average daily users of its apps fell from 3.58 billion to 3.56 billion in the first quarterof the year, partly because of internet disruptions in Iran.

The decline was small by Meta standards but striking nonetheless: Iran’s blackout had become large enough to leave visible marks on the usage charts of some of the world’s biggest technology platforms.

The whitelist

During wars, outages caused by attacks on infrastructure are not unusual. But in Iran’s case, the authorities themselves ordered and implemented the restrictions while simultaneously insisting that no real “internet shutdown” had occurred.

Officials instead describe the measures as restrictions on “foreign platforms” imposed because of wartime conditions.

Rasool Jalili, a member of Iran’s Supreme Council of Cyberspace, argued that when foreign media speak about an internet shutdown, they really mean access to Instagram and Telegram.He went further, placing those platforms in the same category as American fighter jets and missiles.

The comparison reflects a broader shift in how parts of the Iranian establishment increasingly view the internet: not as infrastructure, but as a threat to governance and security.

The same argument is often echoed abroad by commentators close to the government. Mohammad Marandi, for example, argued in response to an Al Jazeera report that because some domestic applications and services remained functional,describing the situation as an “internet blackout” was misleading.

Technically, internet filtering usually means blocking specific websites or services from a global network—a system based on blacklists.

But what Iran is now moving toward goes further than blocking Instagram, X or Telegram. Increasingly, access itself is being reorganized around approved users and approved services through a system marketed as “Internet Pro.”

Internet as privilege

The idea emerged publicly after the ceasefire alongside official talk of domestic governance of foreign platforms.

The government presented the plan—reportedly approved by Iran’s Supreme National Security Council—as a temporary measure designed to reduce pressure on businesses during wartime.

In practice, it creates different layers of internet access based on profession, identity and official approval.

A doctor’s package may allow access to YouTube while keeping Instagram blocked. A businessman’s package may permit Instagram but not other services.The result is a more formalized version of what critics inside Iran have long described as “class-based internet.”

The prolonged restrictions have inflicted severe damage on businesses already weakened by inflation and war. But they have also created new economic opportunities.

Pursuit of workarounds

VPNs sold in Iran vary widely. Some are commercial products, others are homemade “configurations” that function only through specific servers and routes, while some reportedly rely indirectly on systems such as Starlink.

For users, however, they all mean the same thing: paying increasingly large sums for fragments of connection to the outside world.

Reports suggest VPN prices have multiplied several times since the beginning of the war, though free anti-censorship tools developed by independent developers occasionally disrupt the market and drive prices down.

But here is the contradiction: if unrestricted internet access is truly considered a security threat, why does that same access become available to approved groups through money, permits or connections?

Independent investigative journalist Yashar Soltanihas argued that the “Internet Pro” system is tied partly to the financial interests of major telecom operators and networks linked to powerful state institutions.

Whether or not all aspects of those claims withstand scrutiny, one reality is already visible inside Iran: alongside the shutdown itself, a market has emerged for selling different levels of digital access.

The result is a growing divide between those who remain connected and those effectively cut off from the outside world.

At the same time as restricting access to the global internet, theIslamic Republic has increasingly redefined connectivity not as a public right but as a controlled privilege—one that can be priced, restricted and distributed according to political and economic priorities.

In Iran today, internet access is becoming not just a tool of communication, but a commodity and an instrument of control.

(What a horrible place to be imprisoned, their own country. These leaders are really nuts.)

Khamenei’s isolation slowing US-Iran negotiations - CBS

5 hours ago

Iran’s supreme leader is operating from a highly restricted and undisclosed location with limited communication channels, creating delays in ongoing negotiations with the United States, CBS News reported on Sunday citing American officials familiar with the matter.

According to the report, Mojtaba Khamenei is being reached through what officials described as a “labyrinth of couriers,” making it difficult even for Iranian officials involved in diplomacy with the Trump administration to communicate efficiently within their own system.

A White House spokesperson declined to comment on intelligence concerning Khamenei’s whereabouts or internal Iranian communication methods, CBS said.

Despite the reported difficulties, asenior Trump administration official told the network that Khamenei has agreed to the broad contours of the current draft deal.

(Who was the senior Admin in Trump Admin? He should be dismissed if he’s a real person)

US blames divisions over Iran after NPT event ends without agreement

6 hours ago

The United States sharply criticized countries it said downplayed concerns over Iran’s nuclear program after the 2026 review conference of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty ended without consensus on a final document.

In a statement issued after the conference concluded, the State Department said it deeply regretted the failure of NPT member states to reach agreement,arguing that divisions over Iran were central to the deadlock.

Washington specifically criticized what it described as “the inability of some NPT States Parties to take Iran’s threat to global nonproliferation seriously.”

The statement pointed to Iran’s continued disputes with the International Atomic Energy Agency and what the United States called “escalating nuclear activities for which there is no credible civilian justification.”

Rubio warns Hezbollah as Iran pushes for wider regional ceasefire

7 hours ago

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned Hezbollah against destabilizing Lebanon and reaffirmed Washington’s support for the Lebanese government, as regional diplomacy increasingly focuses on whether any Iran-related agreement can contain conflict involving Tehran’s allies.

“The era in which a terrorist group held an entire nation hostage is coming to an end,” Rubio posted on X.

Iranian officials have repeatedly indicated that any sustainable reduction in tensions would need to extend beyond direct US-Iran issues and include fighting involving regional allies, particularly Hezbollah in Lebanon.

IRGC-linked outlet says Tehran remains pessimistic on US talks

pessimism is their regular

State of mind, nothing new and

who cares?

6 hours ago

Iran remains deeply distrustful of the United States despite ongoing indirect diplomacy through Pakistani mediators, according to a source cited by the Revolutionary Guards-linked Tasnim news agency.

The source said the Islamic Republic has “no optimism whatsoever” toward Washington and described current message exchanges with the United States as being conducted with deep pessimism toward the American government.

According to the report, no final understanding has yet been reached and disagreements continue over several provisions under discussion.

“The broader overarching goal is to empower the moderate elements of Iran to overpower the influence of the hardliners. “We have high confidence that we have a good understanding of their command structure.”

Moderates may not be in control yet, hardliners are still there, but they are “ascendant.””

Same nonsense that Obama and Biden said for years. Give money to the regime so moderates become stronger, with the exception that the moderates these people are relying on are hardline IRGC generals.

Absolute nonsense!
