According to an internet monitoring organization, residents in Iran have endured an internet blackout for 57 days.
NetBlocks reported on Saturday that precisely eight weeks have gone by since the Iranian regime restricted the country’s internet access.
“The ongoing disruption, now in its 57th day after 1344 hours, suppresses the voices of Iranians, disconnects friends and family, and harms the economy,” stated the watchdog.
The blackout has been ongoing since the US and Israel struck Tehran on February 28.
In January, the Iranian regime implemented a distinct internet and communications blackout to hide evidence of the most lethal crackdown enforced by the state on its citizens since the establishment of the Islamic Republic nearly 47 years ago.
Earlier this month, NetBlocks referred to the ongoing blackout as the “longest nationwide internet outage recorded in any country.”
