Tehran, Iran, is experiencing a complete internet blackout, according to NetBlock, a service that monitors global internet connectivity. The blackout has resulted in multiple internet service providers being offline in the capital city, disrupting online communications and services.
The disruption appears to be widespread within Tehran, but reports indicate that other regions across Iran are also facing significant internet shutdowns. Details on the duration or the reason behind the outages have not been officially confirmed by authorities at this time.
Iran has previously implemented internet restrictions during periods of political unrest or to control information flow, and recent reports suggest the current outage could be related to similar intentions. The impact on residents, businesses, and governmental operations has yet to be fully assessed.
Authorities have not issued official statements regarding the outage, and efforts to restore connectivity are ongoing. The international community continues to monitor the situation as it develops.
