Iran has been experiencing an almost complete internet blackout for 48 consecutive days, according to monitoring group NetBlocks. The organization reported that the disruption has lasted 1,128 hours, severely limiting online connectivity across the country.
The restrictions were imposed in early January following the resurgence of protests in Iran. The situation worsened toward the end of February when a war broke out involving the United States and Israel against Iran, leading to even stricter controls on internet access. NetBlocks stated that the prolonged blackout has gravely affected daily life and communication among citizens.
Observers describe the scale of this internet shutdown as unprecedented under wartime conditions, highlighting its deep impact on information flow and civilian activities within Iran.
