Since Thursday, #Iran has been undergoing a widespread internet blackout, with local communications and media also facing significant disruptions. Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Friday urged Iranians to preserve unity, and said some protesters are trying to please the United States. Khamenei made the remarks in a televised address to the nation as the country faces growing protests. The ongoing protests, triggered by the sharp fall in the rial and economic hardships in several Iranian cities since late last month, show no sign of abating, with some deadly clashes reported between the police and what the government described as "rioters." Multiple airlines from various countries, including Türkiye and the United Arab Emirates, have canceled their services to and from Iran.
