Can you link an initial report or provide the timestamp on the YouTube broadcast? I'm off to the twitter world...

KARI LAKE BLOCKING RADIO FREE EUROPE FROM BROADCASTING INTO IRAN DURING BLACKOUT
Lake, acting director of USAGM, has denied Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty access to a powerful U.S. transmitter in Kuwait that could beam news directly into Iran during the regime's internet blackout.
RFE/RL is now using commercial vendors instead.
Lake's statement:
"USAGM is working to increase its broadcasting message into Iran during this critical time.
We are working in close coordination with RFE/RL to ensure consistency of message."
Why block the transmitter?
The emphasis on "consistency of message" suggests the administration wants tighter control over what reaches Iranian ears.
RFE/RL operates with editorial independence, which may not align with the specific messaging the White House wants broadcast during this critical window.
There's also the broader context: Lake has been working to restructure USAGM and its legacy outlets, which the administration has viewed as too independent from U.S. foreign policy goals.
Forcing RFE/RL onto expensive commercial vendors could be part of that realignment.
The administration may also prefer centralized control over psychological operations rather than leaving it to independent journalists.
Bottom line: the block may be less about silencing broadcasts and more about controlling the narrative going in.

It’s available w/o YouTube T.V. as well.
Grain of salt, but he does have a shitload of sources, specifically in Iran.

Footage out of Narmak in northeast Tehran tonight is hard to watch.
Someone counted 262 bursts of gunfire and machine gun fire in just six minutes.
It sounds like urban warfare.
Protesters scatter through residential streets under relentless fire.
At one point, someone who was shot gets dragged into a police station.
The video ends with two figures quietly collecting bodies from the street.
This is what the regime means by "under control."

This is ignition of the internal front.
This is a direct operational call to fracture the regime’s command-and-control grid at the exact moment its economic layer has collapsed and its external encirclement is tightening.
It changes the multidomain battlefield in 3 ways:
1. Cyber Command Decentralized
This is the first credible invitation for non-state actors to target Iran’s internal control grid in coordination with a dissident leadership figure. It decentralizes cyber command from nation-states to crowdsourced patriot-hacker cells.
That breaks the firewall of state sovereignty without requiring formal war. The regime can’t strike back cleanly. It creates asymmetric paralysis.
2. Military-Loyalty Disruption Loop
By spotlighting that “thousands of security forces stayed home,” Pahlavi seeds a disobedience cascade. If the regime’s cyber infrastructure gets jammed, and unit commanders can’t communicate, and defection rumors spread, internal chain of command collapses from the middle.
This invites mass non-participation rather than civil war. That’s far more dangerous to the regime.
3. Real-Time Legitimacy Split
This creates a bifurcation where one “Iran” speaks to the world and another Iran holds the capital. The exile voice is backed by the people. The ruling power is blind, broke, and encircled.
Once this goes kinetic, the outside world already has a pre-legitimized alternative structure waiting. The groundwork for regime collapse is now layered: economic, cyber, symbolic, kinetic.
Verdict:
This is the active ignition of the fourth domain. Cyber-disruption aligned with popular disobedience is the method of regime fracture in the 2026 warfare paradigm.
Iran is now in terminal breakdown across:
•Monetary collapse
•Civil unrest
•External encirclement
•Cyber war ignition
The system has no redundancy left.
This is final compression.

New York Times reports that the U.S. Department of Defense is presenting Trump with a wide-range of strike options against Iran.
An expanded air campaign against Iran’s nuclear program and ballistic missiles program is one option.
Another option is cyberattacks combined with strikes against Iran’s security apparatus currently shooting at protesters in the streets.

These are my little sisters.
Right now, they are out in the streets of Iran, risking their lives in the fight to free our Iran.
It's been three full days with no news from them. I'm worried to the point of breaking, but even now, my heart overflows with hope.
This photo was taken a few years ago, during their visit to Canada , a short escape to finally breathe freely, away from the grip of the regime.
We will reunite. We will take this exact same photo again, our hair dancing in the wind, free and alive, this time at the foothills of Mount Damavand, under a sky that belongs to us.
Soon.

The same Gaza social justice warriors who claim to be against oppression are nowhere to be found while the Iranian regime imprisons, murders, and executes its own people for protesting.
It’s clear they don’t care about actual oppression or human rights.
They care about what’s trendy and what helps them politically. The silence right now exposes how unserious and performative the Free Palestine crowd really is.
