Iran Maintains Near-Total Internet Blackout Amid U.S.-Israeli Strikes

Amid ongoing conflict, the Iranian government has implemented a near-total internet blackout affecting the majority of its 92 million citizens. The widespread internet restrictions have been in place for approximately three weeks. The action effectively cuts off most of the population from outside communication and access to online information. The blackout coincides with reported U.S.-Israeli strikes in the region. The Iranian government has not released an official statement explaining the reason for the internet shutdown.
