Iran accused of blocking SIM cards, digital access to silence dissent

Iran has been accused of blocking SIM cards and digital access to silence dissent. This move suggests the country's government is cracking down on free speech and limiting citizens' ability to express themselves online. The blocking of digital access affects not only activists but also ordinary Iranians who rely on the internet for banking and communication. This restriction on digital freedom could have significant implications for Iran's economy and its global reputation.
