""I believe that they are using some military-grade jamming tools to jam the radio frequency signals, particularly jamming any videos, any content, any reports coming out of Iran," Ahmad Ahmadian, executive director of US-based nonprofit Holistic Resilience, told The Washington Post. "You don't need a global kill switch to cripple the network," Kimberly Burke, director of government affairs at consulting firm Quilty Space, told the Post. "You just make it unstable, slow and unreliable enough that it barely even works. Think intermittent dial-up speeds.""
"NetBlocks has been posting updates on Mastodon, saying that Iran's connectivity to the outside world has remained at about 1 percent of ordinary levels. "Iran has now been offline for 120 hours," NetBlocks said today. "Despite some phone calls now connecting, there is no secure way to communicate and the general public remain cut off from the outside world.""
Starlink satellite service in Iran is being deliberately degraded through advanced radio-frequency jamming that targets uploads and video content, limiting citizens' ability to share information and images. Observers report use of military-grade jamming tools to interfere with signals and tactics that make the network unstable and unreliable rather than completely disabled. Monitoring groups show connectivity near one percent of normal levels, with reports of the country being offline for extended periods and only brief, unreliable restorations. Internal traffic measurements indicate volumes at a fraction of previous levels, leaving secure public communication largely cut off.
