Iran’s nationwide internet blackout exceeds hundred hours
Connectivity across the country remains extremely limited, hovering at roughly one percent of typical levels, as indicated by monitoring figures shared on a major social media platform.
The communications blackout comes as Iran continues to face widespread demonstrations that began late last month. The unrest initially erupted on Dec. 28 in Tehran’s Grand Bazaar, driven by the steep fall of the national currency and deteriorating economic conditions, before rapidly spreading to other urban centers.
As stated by reports from rights monitoring organizations, the protests and subsequent security response have resulted in significant casualties and mass arrests. Hundreds of demonstrators and dozens of security personnel are reported to have been killed, while more than ten thousand people have been detained. Iranian authorities have not released official figures regarding deaths or arrests.
