In a time when war is at the doorstep, a mysterious message appeared on the mobile phones of Iranians. The message drew widespread attention on the phones of the Iranian people, coinciding with protests within the country.
US SUPERPOWER SHIP ON A MISSION
The US's largest aircraft carrier, USS Gerald R. Ford, along with its accompanying warships, has reached the waters off Crete. The fleet, expected to arrive off the coast of Israel within one to two days, has led to comments about being on the brink of a possible war.
STRANGE MESSAGE TO IRANIANS' PHONES
Just before the deployment of the aircraft carrier, a short and strange message was sent to the phones of Iranians. The message included the phrase "To the oppressed people of Iran — the US President is a man of action." Iranian opposition news agencies claimed that the SMS system was targeted as a result of a cyber attack.
CAME AT THE SAME TIME AS PROTESTS
The message coincided with a period of renewed student protests rising across the country. In some cities, thousands of students were seen burning the Islamic Republic flag, while the Iranian monarchy flag was raised. Protesters chanted "Death to Khamenei," but security forces did not intervene.
This mysterious message in Iran has resonated widely against the backdrop of both internal social tensions and the potential for military conflict in the region. As the time of war approaches in Iran, this message that fell into communication channels has sparked a new debate in terms of both domestic politics and international relations.
