iranhr.net/en/articles/8522/ Today, January 10, Iran’s Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi called on Iranians to move to more central areas of their cities via different routes, prepare to stay outside, and launch a nationwide strike. He also appealed to some security forces to slow down and disrupt the “suppression machine.”

Approximately 90% of internet traffic has “disappeared”; international calls are reportedly blocked, mobile phone service is affected, and even Starlink is being jammed in some locations. Presumably, this time the authorities have created a “whitelist” of websites—similar to the one, as we previously reported, being implemented in Russia.
www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jan/10/irans-internet-shutdown-is-strikingly-sophisticated-and-may-last-sometime U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio voiced support for the “brave people of Iran.”
www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/rubio-expresses-us-support-iranian-people-amidst-anti-government-protests-2026-01-10/ The Council of the European Union expressed solidarity with the people of Iran, who are demanding a better life, freedom, and dignity.

On January 9, the Russian army struck the Lviv region with an Oreshnik medium-range ballistic missile, reportedly flying at 13,000 km/h and capable of carrying a nuclear warhead. This time, there was no nuclear explosion. It looks like a test.

In light of this and the protests in Iran, it’s worth remembering the partisans and the “Narodovlastie” movement of Vyacheslav Maltsev, whose activities can be read about on the Telegram channel “Revolution” and listened to on the YouTube channel “Vyacheslav Maltsev.”

In Russia, human rights activists regularly report harsh sentences for participants in the partisan movement.

A reminder about safety: opposition activist Artyom Tamoyan on the social network X has exposed yet another FSB phishing scheme. This time, the sites are the non-existent “Free Baikal” movement and “Slay the Occupant,” presented as a gathering place for contacts of opponents of the Putin regime.
