With the turmoil within his country, I often wonder if and hope that he is okay.

I wonder if he would be called back to service due to the bombings or the wars and tensions in the region.

He was also a bit outspoken about his dislike with the regime's policies.

That is what tends to worry me.

I seem to remember a while back Artesh mentioned that it would only be another couple of years then he could leave the country. I got the impression that he may have been living under some form of imposed restriction.

Agreed. I'm trying to be the optimist.

I think the regime nackered the internet even more for the citizins. Even before the recent events in Gaza there was toughening up of the "rules"

This could well be the reason.

Remember, he had military service and with what is happening in the middle east, he may have been recalled.

Iran started clamping down on their internet access in 2022 during the protests and tightened it even more starting in October 2023.

So I am guessing that by November of that year, he was no longer able to find a workaround.

I think he said he was having surgery and would be away for a while; in one of his GBs I think

I seem to remember this but his last post was well over six weeks ago and I was just wondering if he was ok. Maybe some of his closer US neighbors would know or find out.

Saw on Sept 7 that Ralph was going into the hospital. "....in a couple weeks to have open heart surgery done to repair a failed, non-invasive, mitral valve clip install done last year (one leg came loose). Not sure of recovery time; ability to build? But I am under the impression that I will not be 'myself' for a few weeks or so after."
