Iran has experienced an internet shutdown that has now persisted for over 60 hours continuously. The disruption has significantly affected connectivity across the country, impacting both individual users and businesses relying on online services.
The government has yet to provide an official explanation for the nationwide outage, which has coincided with a period of social unrest and protests in various regions. Authorities have previously used internet restrictions to limit information flow during times of political or social turmoil.
Human rights organizations and digital rights advocates have raised concerns about the prolonged shutdown, citing its implications for freedom of expression and access to information. Experts note that such internet blackouts can hinder communication, emergency response efforts, and journalistic reporting.
It remains unclear when full internet service will be restored. The ongoing disruption continues to draw international attention, with calls for transparency and the restoration of open communication channels in Iran.
