<h1>Government-imposed communications blackout and selective international calling restoration during unrest, keeping SMS and internet blocked and hampering cross-border transactions</h1> Communications: mobile international calling was intermittently restored after a government-imposed communications shutdown during nationwide unrest, clarifying that international telephony may be selectively permitted while SMS and international internet access remain blocked; operative effect: continued restrictions limit real-time information flow and complicate cross-border communications and financial transaction processing. Public-order enforcement: security forces, including riot police, volunteer militia and plainclothes personnel, have engaged in widespread arrests, use of force, property seizures and restrictions on movement, with prosecutors warning protesters may be prosecuted as 'enemies of God' carrying capital exposure; operative effect: heightened criminal exposure and risk of capital punishment for protest participation. Economic sanction measure: the U.S. announced immediate 25% tariffs on countries trading with Iran; operative effect: trade partners face increased duties, potentially disrupting Iran's international commerce.
