Iran internet blackout enters 70th day, NetBlocks says

May 8, 2026, 09:03 GMT+1

Internet monitoring group NetBlocks said on Friday that Iran’s nationwide internet blackout had entered its 70th day, with disruptions lasting more than 1,650 hours.

NetBlocks said restricted connectivity continued to affect ordinary Iranians, warning that prolonged internet limits hurt small businesses, students, people with disabilities and the wider public.

Iran has faced severe internet disruptions since the conflict involving Iran, the US and Israel intensified earlier this year.
