🗣Your account: Living conditions under political repression and military tensions — Thursday 5 Shahrivar

🔹MCI (Hamrah-e Aval) and Irancell set up the internet in a way that keeps roaming active. With roaming enabled, more data is consumed, but the speed is better; however, if you turn off roaming, the internet becomes extremely weak.

🔹From Karaj: more than 30 days now that from 2 p.m. the electricity is cut off for 2 hours, and after 4 p.m. when it is connected, the water is cut off until 12 midnight. We really have reached the peak.

🔹We really don’t know what we should remove from our shopping basket anymore; toiletries and hygienic products, food, clothing? I wish bank installments could also be removed.

🔹A healthcare worker and my spouse, with two kids. I was selected for dismissal—after 12 years of work—because of stubbornness. I’ve been left without even bread for my children’s night.

🔹In the city of Harsin, located in Kermanshah province, the atmosphere of the city has become security-focused and it is on standby. All Law Enforcement Force police—both with patrol/official vehicles and privately—are deployed in the city and carry out patrols. Also, intelligence forces in plain clothes control the city.

🔹Iran’s supplementary medical insurance, Iran Helping Insurance, has gone bankrupt and for months now it hasn’t been able to pay the treatment-related compensation owed to policyholders.

🔹Things are really very bleak. I’m a young person; I went to buy from a convenience store—a milk, yogurt, and a lemonade—and it came to 370 thousand tomans. How much income do we have that we can give nearly 400 thousand tomans for just 3 small items?
