But their Foreign Minister took his entire family and flew to Beirut. Doesn't look like a routine visit.




If things calm down back home, he can say this was a routine work trip. If not, it doesn’t matter.

Source?

That story is based on rumors and denied by the minister himself.

However, French media reports the Iranian elites are trying to get french visas

Other unconfirmed rumors currently circulating is that last night under the cover of the internet blackouts there has been a major massacre of protestors

That would unfortunately repeat the playbook of their 2019 internet blackout, which was likewise a cover to the government massacring "as many as 1,500 protestors".

> "To block the sharing of information regarding the protests and the deaths of hundreds of protesters on social media platforms, the government shut down the Internet nationwide, resulting in a near-total internet blackout of around six days.[25][26][27] In an effort to crush the protests, the Iranian government (according to Amnesty International) shot protesters dead from rooftops, helicopters, and at close range with machine gun fire. In an effort to mask the scale and casualty count of the protests, it hauled away large numbers of bodies of the dead protesters,[24] and threatened families of slain protesters not to speak to the media or hold funerals.[28]"
