I haven’t been able to reach my girlfriend ever since the blackout. I am not Persian myself but she is and lives in Iran. I have tried everything, sms, email, international call, even that Irani messaging apps like bale but I can’t connect. Is there any way I can reach her, even for a few minutes, to help me calm?
Goes to show that majority of the "Iranians" posting here are not even in Iran.
Nobody here is in Iran, dude. It’s a blackout.
It's about time they turned off the internet so Iran can come back to its senses.
You're the one that needs to come back into your senses. Fuck is wrong with you?
Nothing. Is something wrong with you?
So they can kill thousands of unarmed civilians? You’re nice.
You are making a mistake, this is Iran, not Israel.
You’re full of crap. Iranians are being murdered by their own government. Stop spreading lies.
where did I lie? That saying Iran is not Israel or what? Point out the lie I wrote
or is your favorite past time on reddit accusing people blindly of lying?
You’re trying to make it sound like people aren’t dying at the hands of their government in Iran and downplaying the evil of the Islamic Republic.
you must be silly if that's what you understood after reading my post
The Iranian government is killing civilians.
There is nothing wrong with the internet and all the phones are working just fine. I think your girlfriend is just ghosting you… /s
I’m just fucking with you lol 😂 have 86 relatives in Iran and I have only been able to contact 3 of them and that’s only because two of them have starlink internet and one has a satellite phone.
I’m very sorry about not being able to talk to your girl. I hope everything goes back to normal soon.
What have they said about what's going on?
Not a lot since they aren’t participating. But they say things are very chaotic and most places are closed and it’s not very safe to go outside. Some people are using the chaos to loot the stores and rob people’s houses. One of them told me that in their town near Shiraz some people tried to get inside an army base to steal guns and some of them got shot. Also anti riot police is beating people and they have permission to open fire if their lives are being threatened. Taxis are charging 4x or 5x the normal price and metro in Tehran is not running. In general, things aren’t looking too good at the moment… 😩
Thanks for the update, hope your family is ok.
I like how you added the /s and still clarified that you're joking, shows how many people don't understand what sarcasm is lol
Do you know if they are able to communicate with each other or are the phone services down too. If so, is it ok if I send a message that you can send to her through your relatives? I know it's a lot to ask but I have no other choices at the moment. Regardless, thank you for the update and I hope all 86 of your relatives are safe and sound throughout this time.
Landlines are down too so local people cannot call each other too from what ive heard.
Unfortunately, no. We are all with you in the same boat. Stay strong.
I hope we’re all able to check on our loved ones soon.
Again, no. It is what it is until they reconnect it. We'll just have to keep on waiting as annoying and frustrating and stressful as it may be.
No luck here either, all we can do is pray.
I'm very worried about foreign parasites launching attacks during this period. They've wanted to put Iran into chaos and balkanize it for decades now.
I think we’ll soon find that foreign parasites were behind it all.
Khamenei is part of those parasites. They are in on it.
