Internet returning across Iran after months of near-total blackout. Connectivity at ~86%. Mobile networks reconnecting. Regime censorship still active, WhatsApp restricted, some areas still dark.
Iran's internet has been largely severed from the outside world for 74 days. The blackout began February 28 and has now surpassed 1,752 hours. - NetBlocks
"Metrics show the Iran internet blackout is now in its 72nd day with connectivity flatlining after 1704 hours. The unprecedented measure is well into its third month with no indication of a wider restoration as authorities bar the general public from international access."
NetBlocks: Iran’s nationwide internet blackout has entered its 47th day, with the general public experiencing over 1,100 hours without international connectivity.
