"I think we're at a near-total disconnection from the outside world now,"
"near-total blackout"
"We continue to see a small amount of traffic, but the country is effectively completely offline,"
Internet connectivity collapsed across Iran on Thursday amid nationwide protests, with monitoring firms reporting near-total disconnection beginning around 8 p.m. Tehran time. Web monitoring groups NetBlocks, Cloudflare, and IODA registered sudden, simultaneous drops in connectivity, while Kentik described a near-total blackout. Protests erupted at the end of December after a sharp currency devaluation caused shortages and price spikes, prompting some Tehran bazaar closures. Security forces responded with violent crackdowns. Iran's government, which tightly controls national internet access, is responsible for the blackout, and the Iranian Foreign Ministry website was offline.
