After ten days of nationwide disconnection, Iran briefly restored limited internet access before shutting it down again, according to monitoring group NetBlocks. The group reported that minimal connectivity returned to some Google and messaging services but quickly dropped. The blackout began on January 8 following widespread protests over economic hardship. Human rights groups accused the government of using the shutdown to conceal mass killings during security crackdowns.
AFP reported that while authorities claimed calm had returned, armored vehicles and patrols were still visible in Tehran. U.S. President Donald Trump’s remark that it was “time for new leadership in Iran” heightened tensions, prompting Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian to warn that any attack on Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei would be treated as a declaration of war. The government said it had recommended lifting the internet ban, but the CEO of mobile operator Irancell was dismissed for failing to enforce the shutdown.
Amnesty International said verified evidence showed widespread killings by security forces, while Iran Human Rights confirmed 3,428 protester deaths. Opposition channel Iran International claimed over 12,000 deaths, though none of these figures were independently verified.
