In a dramatic display of defiance, millions of anti-regime protesters gathered in the streets of Tehran on January 10, 2023, even as the Islamic regime implemented widespread internet and electricity outages. Fearing the scale of the protests could be broadcasted through satellite communications, the government sought to disrupt communication by cutting power in several neighborhoods. In response, brave Iranian citizens turned on the flashlights of their mobile phones, creating a sea of lights that symbolized their unity and determination. This spontaneous act not only illuminated the streets but also signaled to the world the magnitude of the protests against the regime.
