Insanity in Tehran: Regime Cuts Internet to 80 Million, Streams Tucker Carlson on Loop

In a surreal development amidst the violent crackdown on anti-regime protests, the Islamic Republic of Iran has begun broadcasting clips of American commentator Tucker Carlson on national television, even as it severs internet and telephone connections for its own citizens.

While the regime has implemented a "digital curtain," cutting off 80 million Iranians from the outside world to stifle dissent, viewers tuning into the state-run IRIB Channel 1 were greeted not by the usual lineup of clerics, but by the former Fox News host.

The segments, broadcast with Farsi subtitles, featured Carlson criticizing the "Deep State" and questioning American foreign policy interventionism.

The regime appears to be utilizing Carlson’s pro-regime talking points to validate their claim that the current unrest is a product of Western meddling rather than organic domestic anger over economic collapse and civil repression.

"It is the height of irony," said one observer monitoring the situation from outside the country. "Iranians cannot call an ambulance or message their families because the lines are cut, yet the regime ensures they have clear reception to hear an American pundit tell them that Washington is the problem."

The broadcast strategy highlights the regime's desperation.

By platforming a prominent American voice that aligns with their anti-interventionist stance, the Ayatollahs are attempting to signal to their dwindling base that even within the "Great Satan," there is opposition to regime change.

Meanwhile, on the streets of Tehran and Mashhad, where the internet remains blacked out, the reality is far more kinetic. Protesters continue to clash with Basij forces, unaware that their state broadcaster is currently using an American television personality as its primary shield against the revolution of freedom.
