Tehran - So, Iran thought it could just turn the internet back on and everyone would forget about the whole 'US-Israeli War' thing, huh? Surprise! Turns out, people are a little more concerned about the fact that a basket of groceries now costs more than a used car. The partial lifting of internet restrictions has unleashed a tidal wave of Iranian rage about…wait for it…food prices.

Remember when they shut down the internet back on February 28th? Classic move. Whenever the peasants get uppity, just pull the plug. It worked so well during those mass protests in January, didn't it? Now they're slowly turning the lights back on, probably thinking everyone's forgotten about the 308% increase in vegetable oil prices. Good luck with that.

Our buddy President Masoud Pezeshkian is blaming the US for all the economic woes. "Economic warfare," he cries! It's always someone else's fault, isn't it? Meanwhile, the Ministry of Intelligence is hyperventilating about "cognitive warfare." Apparently, letting people talk freely on the internet is more dangerous than a squadron of F-35s. Who knew?

They've launched a "resistance economy committee" to fight price gouging. Sounds legit. That'll fix everything, right? I'm sure the hyperinflation is just a temporary glitch. Nothing to see here, folks. Just keep calm and eat your (increasingly expensive) lentils.

The IMF says food inflation is somewhere between 140% and 200%. But hey, who trusts those globalist institutions anyway? A recent survey showed only 9% of Iranians support the internet restrictions. Shocking. It's almost like people don't enjoy being silenced.

And of course, the regime is busy trying to smear Reza Pahlavi, the Shah's kid, claiming he's cheering on attacks on Iran. Because that's totally going to distract people from the fact that they can't afford to feed their families. Smart move, guys. Really smart.

Some dude named Emadeddin Baghi is whining about the suffering caused by the war. Get in line, buddy. Everyone's suffering. And some rapper named Toomaj Salehi is demanding unrestricted internet access as a right. Newsflash: nobody has a 'right' to anything the government doesn't want them to have. Especially not in Iran.

So, yeah, Iran's little internet experiment has backfired spectacularly. Turns out, you can't hide economic incompetence behind a firewall. Who knew? The only question now is whether this latest episode will lead to another round of protests...or just more expensive groceries.
