I talked to my brother who is in Tehran a couple of hours ago. YouTube
is apparently down (filtered). The satellite TV and international radio
stations (SW) are also jammed. But apparently a VOA satellite TV station has started to broadcast on a
new frequency and so they have access to that. They had also lost the
cell-phone service. (The phone system is operated by the Ministry of
Technology and Communications; so it is state run.) It really is feeling like a coup.
