Iran's Internet Blackout Exceeds 100 Hours Amid Protests

Iran"s nationwide internet blackout has now surpassed 100 hours, as the government continues to impose restrictions amid ongoing anti-government protests triggered by an economic crisis. Connectivity levels in the country remain below 1% of normal, according to cybersecurity watchdog NetBlocks.

This internet shutdown has significantly limited public access to information, communication, and independent reporting regarding the protests. The situation has drawn international attention as demonstrators express their grievances against the government.

For further context, earlier coverage has reported on the protests, including claims from the Iranian Foreign Minister that protesters have set fire to 350 mosques. The unrest has escalated in recent weeks, leading to heightened government responses and restrictions on information flow.

As the situation develops, the impact of the internet blackout on public discourse and the ability to organize protests remains a critical concern.
