This profile is listed because X, formerly known as Twitter, shows that it has connected directly from Iran or West Asia. Since X is blocked for ordinary citizens in Iran, a direct connection indicates that the account holder uses a white SIM card, a government issued mobile line that bypasses all internet filtering. WhiteSimWatch documents this publicly available data to create transparency about privileged internet access in Iran.

A white SIM card, known in Persian as سیم‌کارت سفید, is a special mobile line in Iran that is completely exempt from the national internet filtering system. While over 90 million Iranians face heavy censorship and need VPNs to access blocked platforms, white SIM card holders connect freely and without restrictions. These SIM cards are distributed exclusively to individuals considered loyal to the Islamic Republic, including senior officials, military commanders, and state media journalists.

"Account based in" is a public transparency feature on X that displays the country from which an account most recently connected to the platform. When this field shows "Iran" or "West Asia" for an X account, it means the user connected directly from that region without a VPN, which is strong evidence of unfiltered internet access through a white SIM card.

Yes. X updates the "Account based in" field based on recent connections, so the displayed country can change if the account holder starts using a VPN or connects from a different location. WhiteSimWatch preserves timestamped snapshots of all recorded data, ensuring that historical evidence remains available even if the connection information later changes.

WhiteSimWatch reads the publicly visible "About this account" information provided by X for every account. No private data is accessed or stored. Anyone can verify this information directly on X by viewing the "About this account" section of any profile.
