I don’t know how to describe this pain. No access to internet for a month makes anyone go crazy. #DigitalBlackoutIran

USCIS pause is depriving US of much needed talent for high tech industries that require the best minds in the world. #USCISPause

Very important: "The USCIS pause on immigration processing for Iran is about to expel thousands of students who are graduating from college in May. These are F-1 students, who will not be able to roll to OPT, STEM OPT, or eventually H1-B in time unless this pause is lifted.

Stopping Iranian students from coming to US removes one of the only ways they can escape their repressive government. While I have concerns with the Iranian system, Iranian education system is excellent. I have had many outstanding Iranian students over the years.

Congratulations on your well-deserved appointment. The Iranian-American community is determined to help the Trump administration keep the United States safe from the terror and chaos the radical Islamist regime in Tehran seeks to export to our shores. Our community urges the DHS

A Norooz Message to the World: Imagine a New Iran #Nowruz

⚠️ Update: #Iran's internet blackout has entered its 20th day, with international connectivity unavailable to the general public for over 456 hours. The incident is now the longest recorded shutdown in Iran's history, surpassing the blackout imposed during protests in January.

USCIS pause on OPT, H-1B/O-1, EB-1/2/3 for Iranian nationals already in the U.S. doesn’t improve security; it sidelines talent America trained. E.g., two of my PhD students, both Iranian, IMO medalists, and outstanding researchers are directly impacted. #LiftTheHold #USCISPause

The Islamic Republic has just cut the last <1% of internet access in Iran. Since the 1st day of war, the regime shut down internet to keep 90 million people exposed only to regime's fake news and unable to raise their voices to the world. This is a war crime. #DigitalBlackoutIran

@elonmusk Dear Elon, In these critical days, the people of Iran need internet access. Please help them stay connected as they struggle to reclaim their country from the rule of the mullahs. Stand with the Iranian people. Iran will not forget its friends.

⚠️ Update: #Iran's wartime internet blackout has entered its 14th day with connectivity still at 1% of ordinary levels after 312 hours. As authentic voices are silenced and civilians are left without vital updates, a steady flow of regime-approved content fills the void.

Every time we manage to speak with people inside Iran (through expensive, one-way calls only a few can afford) they all say the same thing from the middle of a war: “WE NEED INTERNET.” For two weeks, the regime has cut off Iran’s internet. People can’t know what’s happening

End the internet shutdown in Iran! Let the Iranian people be heard.💔 #DigitalBlackOutIran #IranWar #FreeIran

Iranian authority openly threatening to kill its critics on national television. I invite everyone to listen carefully to these threats broadcast on Iranian state TV. “Confiscating property is nothing… we will make your mothers mourn you.” For Iranian activists, journalists,

⚠️ Update: #Iran's internet blackout is entering its twelfth day after 264 hours with connectivity still at 1% of ordinary levels. Meanwhile, the regime's spokesperson has confirmed observations pointing to a whitelisting system, stating that only the approved are given a voice.

Can you imagine: You are losing your postdoctoral position at Yale in two months due to uscis pause on EAD, while you are Iranian diaspora who hates IRGC more than anyone and worked so hard to escape from hell. #LiftThePause

Why does the government in Iran not want 90 million people to have access to the internet during a WAR? No sirens! No shelters! They had all the resources and time to build missiles but no shelters for ordinary Iranians? #DigitalBlackoutIran

While President Trump’s offer of U.S. support to members of Iran’s women’s soccer team highlighted America’s longstanding commitment to protecting those facing threats from the Islamic Republic, there is another group of highly skilled Iranian nationals in the U.S. who are also
