  • US President Donald Trump is reportedly preparing a crucial step regarding Iran amidst widespread protests against the Islamic government.
  • Trump stated that Iran is seeking to negotiate with the US and he intends to speak with Elon Musk about restoring internet services.
  • The Khamenei government has shut down internet services almost nationwide to suppress anti-government movements, isolating citizens.
