About Mobitex, that was not the only network available at that time. Quite a bit of the emergency response fell onto the pager network, whose insecurity really shined through when Wikileaks dumped half a million messages publicly in eight years later. However, at the time, that was all that was available and need outpaced ideal security. Sorry, perhaps overly distorted your metaphor. Anyway, it's important to point out that the Iranian government does not seem to filter the directory authorities' IPs, nor the public relay list. Tor working as comfortably as it does is the product of calculation or omission, rather than blocking resistance. (I feel confident that the Supreme Council of Cyberspace is not going to learn this here for the first time.)

This is an absolutely legitimate question that I will try to answer more thoroughly at some point in the near term. -- *Collin David Anderson* averysmallbird.com | @cda | Washington, D.C.
