Iran Nuke Scientists Work it Out With a Pencil
The restrictions will prohibit entry of certain laptops, tablets, and mobile phones, including devices manufactured by Motorola, Apple, and BlackBerry. The measure comes amid heightened regional tensions following Israel's stated intention to respond to this month's missile attack by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari, former IRGC commander and current head of its cultural base, has confirmed the credibility of these threats. The security upgrade appears motivated by concerns over potential espionage and sabotage operations. Officials have drawn parallels to incidents like Hezbollah's pager explosions, which resulted in dozens of deaths and hundreds of injuries, including to the Iranian ambassador to Lebanon. Despite some injured individuals receiving treatment in Iranian hospitals and being visited by officials like President Masoud Pezeshkian, media coverage of these incidents has been limited and controlled. Iranian media coverage of related security incidents has been notably restricted, especially regarding diplomatic personnel affected by recent events. Posted by: Mercutio 2024-10-25 |
