Iran internet blackout hits day 53 with tiered access, NetBlocks says

Apr 21, 2026, 08:43 GMT+1

Iran’s internet blackout entered its 53rd day on Tuesday, with authorities providing selective access to favored users and businesses while most of the population remains cut off from global networks, NetBlocks said.

"As authorities work to develop tiered access for select users and businesses, the human impacts and economic harms of this digital censorship measure continue to spiral," the internet monitoring group said.
