US Strikes Take Out 116 Telecoms Towers In Southern Iran
Communications and even the supply of drinking water has been severely impacted in some places of southern Iran, amid continuing US airstrikes on civic and national infrastructure, amid the seventh consecutive day of war.
"Hormozgan's chief of communications and information technology says the US's overnight attacks disrupted telecommunications in Bandar Abbas and Hajiabad, in the northern part of the province," Al Jazeera reports
Authorities there have tallied at least 116 telecommunication towers which were taken out of service due to the US onslaught. This has resulted in outages and disruptions of fixed-line, mobile, and internet services, per Tasnim news agency.

This suggests the US is returning to a strategy which seeks to create destabilization within, targeting the ability of the public to communicate and access information, returning the situation to the early weeks of the war, which saw Tehran authorities...

FIFA Folds, Allows Rainbow Flags To Fly In Seattle Stadium Despite Objections From Iran, Eqypt
Rainbow flags will be allowed inside the stadium in Seattle, where the FIFA World Cup group game between Iran and Egypt is being held on June 26, despite both countries objecting to the standards associated with the LGBT community.
Both countries are predominantly Muslim, and homosexuality is illegal in Iran and criminalized in Egypt, but Hana Tadesse, a spokesperson for Seattle's World Cup organizing committee, said on June 24 that FIFA considers the rainbow flag a statement of human rights and will allow fans to wave it inside Lumen Field.
In December 2025, the soccer federations of both Iran and Egypt complained after it became clear that Seattle's World Cup organizing committee wanted to use the match as a “once-in-a-lifetime moment to showcase and celebrate LGBTQIA+ communities in Washington.”

Growing Division In Iran's 'Hardline Camp' Emerges Over Halting All Talks With US
It remains difficult to know what's really going on inside Iran, and to accurately assess the state of the country's internal politics, but Financial Times describes a situation of hardliners vs. moderates duking it out to see whether negotiations with the United States should continue.
The report comes well after President Trump and the White House have at various times alleged Tehran governance is 'fractured' and the state is even 'collapsing' - which seems exaggerated if not flatly false. Those more independent-minded analysts outside the mainstream suggest the opposite is the case - that it's Washington which can't stick to any of its red lines and keeps moving the goal posts on negotiations. After all Trump did keep unilaterally extending the ceasefire, and the US has not resumed the bombings even though Trump clearly threatened to (even with 'firm' timelines) as the Iranians sat back

Im Iran testet China seinen „Not-Aus-Schalter“ gegen Starlink (Tichys Einblick)
|
|
|
Der Iran ist Testfeld für Pekings zukünftigen Krieg um Taiwan. Teheran hat Starlink mit Chinas „Not-Aus-Schalter“ abgeschaltet. Synchronisierte Bodenstörsender legten um 40.000 Endgeräte lahm. Eine wichtige Lebensader der iranischen Opposition ist gekappt. Bis zu 80 Prozent der Starlink-Terminals im Iran dürften offline sein. Der Einsatz chinesischer Technologie und russischer Hardware dient als erfolgreicher Machbarkeitsnachweis der Unterbrechung des Satelliteninternets, das zuvor als immun gegen Störungen galt..
