Nobel Peace Prize laureate Shirin Ebadi said Iran’s authorities had imposed an organized communications blackout to hide the mass killing, calling for urgent international action.

"Iran has fallen into an organized silence," Ebadi wrote on Instagram. "Cutting the internet, paralyzing communications, intimidating witnesses and shutting down media means the government wants to carry out the killing in silence and then erase its traces."

She cited Iran International, which said it had concluded after a multi-stage review of field and medical data, accounts from families and witnesses, and information from sources close to senior security and government bodies, that at least 12,000 people were killed over two consecutive nights on Jan. 8 and 9.

Ebadi said the issue was not only the scale of the deaths but what she described as the pattern of the violence.

"This is organized killing, with direct fire, under the cover of an internet shutdown," she wrote.

She called for the immediate restoration of internet access, an independent international investigation and the documentation and prosecution of those responsible.

Is there anyone monitoring military air traffic or movements to see if forces are enroute?

I thought there was an internet blackout, who is he talking to.

'Help is on its way' - Is the US going to join in the fight for the Iranian people? Or just big talk?

> "Iranian Patriots, KEEP PROTESTING - TAKE OVER YOUR INSTITUTIONS!!! Save the names of the killers and abusers. They will pay a big price," Trump said in a post on his Truth Social account.

> "I have cancelled all meetings with Iranian Officials until the senseless killing of protesters STOPS. HELP IS ON ITS WAY. MIGA [Make Iran Great Again]!!!" he added.

How would a US attack on Iran look like?

My bet, if it happens, strictly a bombing campaign targeting regime targets. Hoping the protestors would do the rest.

Would Israel join? Would the UK or others assist?
