ℹ️ Update: Network data show at a brief restoration of internet connectivity in #Iran at hour 444 of the country's second-longest blackout, as some users report coming momentarily back online after an apparent filtering system glitch. However, the restoration is not sustained.
⚠️ Update: #Iran's internet blackout is now entering its 18th day after 408 hours without international connectivity for the general public. Chosen users are granted privileged access, while the remainder are left with a limited domestic intranet under increasingly tight control.
Who decided Abbas Araghchi speaks for Iranians?When did Iranians ask him to represent them?
Iranians don’t need anyone to speak for them. The Islamic Republic must restore internet access so people inside Iran can speak for themselves. Their lives are at risk under this internet blackout.

🆘 Dear @elonmusk
Iranians are experiencing a total internet blackout during a critical time. They need the world to hear them.
Please help provide internet access for the people of Iran.
#DigitalBlackOutIran
When Iran goes offline, brutality goes online.
Internet blackouts = cover for mass crackdowns & erased evidence.
End the silence. Restore connectivity. Let the world hear Iran.

Since Feb 28, 2026 (17 days), Iranian regime imposed TOTAL internet blackout amid war. They turn 90M+ civilians into human shields—no alerts/shelters—while state media spreads propaganda to deceive people & drive up civilian casualties. Deliberate war crime!

For 17 days, 90 million people in Iran have been cut off from the free internet in the middle of a war. Families can’t reach each other and people can’t access reliable information.
We’ve seen this pattern before: when the regime shuts down the internet, something terrible follows.
If you truly care about Iranian lives, speak about the internet blackout in Iran. Their safety depends on it.

Days before Iranian New Year, thousands are in prison and new arrests continue, from civil activists to people accused of using Starlink. All while war goes on. Imagine a crisis of this scale happening while an entire nation is silenced. #DigitalBlackOutIran#IranWar
🔴 This is what the Islamic Republic hides under digital blackouts:
Tehran, March 2, 2025
Security forces set up checkpoints, threatening civilians and creating a hostile environment amid the ongoing war. Distinct sounds of gunfire and electric shock devices can be heard.

In the middle of war, the Islamic Republic has taken the Iranian people hostage by completely cutting off the internet and all communications. This is a crime against humanity! @elonmusk We urgently need global connectivity — Starlink or any solution — NOW! #DigitalBlackOutIran
Even the weak internet connections in Iran have now disappeared, Iran is going dark again. The last time the regime shut down the internet like this, THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WERE MASSACRED!
#DigitalBlackOutIran
Iran is in a digital blackout.
Internet is cut. Phone calls from abroad barely connect. Families are desperate just to hear each other.
Every blackout in Iran hides something darker than the one before.
