Iran in ‘near-total internet blackout’: UK-based watchdog
Iran was today in a “near-total national internet blackout” as tensions deepened between Tehran and Israel, a London-based online watchdog says.
“Live network data show Iran is now in the midst of a near-total national internet blackout; the incident follows a series of earlier partial disruptions and comes amid escalating military tensions with Israel after days of back-and-forth missile strikes,” NetBlocks writes on X.
