  • Blogging about bypassing internet blocks in Iran can be dangerous due to the country's laws and surveillance.
  • The post may be inauthentic or propaganda, given the use of Cloudflare and the domain registration in California.
  • Sanctions are having a significant impact on the Iranian economy and people's access to basic necessities like medicine.
  • The nuclear deal with Iran was flawed and did not prevent the country from enriching uranium or pursuing nuclear weapons.
  • The US withdrawal from the nuclear deal and imposition of sanctions have led to a deterioration of the situation and increased tensions.
  • The effects of sanctions on Iran are not being adequately reported in mainstream media, and the situation is more complex than often presented.
  • The use of sanctions as a negotiating tool can be counterproductive and lead to further escalation.
  • Iran's nuclear program and enrichment activities are legitimate under international law, and the country has the right to pursue nuclear power.
