The internet shutdown in Iran has now reached its 54th day, as reported by the internet monitoring organization NetBlocks.
NetBlocks stated in a post on X earlier today that “the current measure is fundamentally unequal and persistently hides human rights abuses occurring on the ground.”
Since the US and Israel initially targeted Iran on February 28, the Iranian government has nearly entirely restricted the nation’s internet access.
Prior to that, a distinct internet shutdown occurred during weeks of anti-government demonstrations in the nation at the beginning of this year.
Earlier this month, NetBlocks described the ongoing blackout as the “longest nationwide internet shutdown ever recorded in any country.”
Elias Hazrati, the leader of Iran’s Government Information Council, stated yesterday that internet access will be reinstated only once the war concludes, as reported by the official Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA).
