Iran internet blackout among most severe on record, NetBlocks says
Iran's nationwide internet blackout has reached 240 hours, making it one of the most severe government-imposed shutdowns recorded globally, internet monitor NetBlocks said on Tuesday.
The group said the disruption is the second longest shutdown registered in Iran after the January protests and noted that the country has spent roughly a third of 2026 offline.
Internet connectivity in Iran has fallen to a fraction of normal levels during recent blackouts, severely limiting the flow of information from inside the country, according to monitoring data.
