KALW – On this edition of Your Call Media Roundtable, we’re discussing the widening US–Israeli military intervention in Iran and how the war is being covered in the US press.
According to the Human Rights Activists News Agency, more than 1,000 civilians were killed in the first five days of US–Israeli bombing, including 181 children under the age of ten. According to the World Health Organization, 13 hospitals have bombed by Israel and the USA in Iran.
We’ll also learn more about the near-total communications blackout in Iran. According to Aljazeera, NetBlocks said on Thursday that “an increasingly Orwellian environment is emerging as telcos threaten users who try to connect to the global internet with legal action,” in reference to users reporting that they have received threatening text messages from telecommunications authorities after trying or sharing VPNs.
