#⃣ It's now the 56th day of #Iran's internet blackout, with international connectivity severed for over 1320 hours. The measure, the longest recorded national internet shutdown in a connected society, continues while conditions deteriorate amid warfare and reported executions.

📵 The #Iran internet blackout is now in its 53rd day after 1248 hours of disconnection from global networks. 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.

“Made without AI” is the new prestige label.

[NetBlocks @netblocks]

⚠️ Update: It's now day 34 of #Iran's internet blackout as the nation-scale censorship measure continues past 792 hours in its second month.

Friends and family remain largely cut off from the outside world amid growing anxiety over wartime casualties, arrests, and executions.

Heartbreaking 💔
This morning, right after President Trump’s speech, the Iranian regime moved fast and hanged 18-year-old protester.

Yes, Mr. President @realDonaldTrump, there are no “less radical” leaders in Iran.

From the courtroom to the prison cell, from the interrogator to the judge, this is a unified system of terror. So this is the Islamic Republic: a system with a Stone Age approach to dissent, executing its own young people to stay in power.

This is not about left or right.
This is about life, dignity, and the future of a nation.

His name is Amirhossein Hatami. 18 years old. His “crime”? Demanding Freedom, dignity, and a normal life.
No lawyer. No independent media to be his voice, No fair trial. No final goodbye to his family. But of course a forced confession on State TV after being tortured to admit a crime that he has committed never committed.

And his friends may be next.

By the way, where are the anti-war activists?
Why don’t we hear you campaigning against mass arrests, and executions in Iran ? Would you demand that the Iranian regime stop its war on unarmed people?
Stop the executions.
Stop the torture.
End the total #DigitalBlackOut imposed on Iran.

This is about standing with the people of Iran against a regime that has massacred more than 40,000 of its own citizens and is now killing those arrested in the same uprising

600 hour blackout

[NetBlocks @netblocks]

⚠️ Update: The internet blackout in #Iran has now entered its 26th day after passing the 600 hour mark.

The measure leaves civilians cut off from international networks, violating their right to access information in times of war.

[NetBlocks @netblocks]

⚠️ Update: It's now day 24 of #Iran's internet blackout, with the measure passing 552 hours among the most severe registered in any country.

International connectivity remains unavailable to the general public while authorities maintain a selective whitelist for global access.

[Masih Alinejad 🏳️ @AlinejadMasih]

They buried a 19-year-old wrestler here, an athlete hanged by Iran's regime for protesting.
Saleh Mohammadi was one of Iran's valuable assets, part of the human infrastructure of its future but Islamic Republic destroyed that future.
It is painful and powerful to see people gathering to stand with his family, clapping for their hero.

[NetBlocks @netblocks]

⚠️ Update: After 528 hours, #Iran is entering a 23rd day isolated from the world as the regime-imposed internet blackout continues in its fourth week.

The measure adds to the wartime distress of millions of civilians who lack independent sources of information and alerts.

[Hadi Nili @HadiNili]

#DigitalBlackoutIran:
"I used to have many calls on @BeMyEyes app everyday from Iran to help the blind: "What does it say on this pill?" "What's this button?" &...
Now with the internet shutdown again, my heart goes out to each & everyone of them who don't have this option now."

[NetBlocks @netblocks]

⚠️ Update: #Iran is entering Nowruz, the Persian New Year, in digital darkness, as the internet blackout continues into day 21 after 480 hours.

With international connectivity cut and domestic service limited, many families are unable to contact loved ones when it's most needed.

[NetBlocks @netblocks]

⚠️ Update: #Iran's internet blackout has entered its 20th day, with international connectivity unavailable to the general public for over 456 hours.

The incident is now the longest recorded shutdown in Iran's history, surpassing the blackout imposed during protests in January.

[NetBlocks @netblocks]

⚠️ Update: The internet blackout in #Iran has entered its 19th day with international connectivity still unavailable after 432 hours to all but a chosen few.

As the world debates if or how the war should proceed, one voice is effectively missing: the voice of the Iranian people.

[NetBlocks @netblocks]

⚠️ 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.

[NetBlocks @netblocks]

⚠️ Update: The internet blackout in #Iran is entering its 17th day after 384 hours. Over the last day a decline has been tracked in reserved telecoms network infrastructure, further reducing VPN availability and sending some whitelisted users and NIN services offline.

[NetBlocks @netblocks]

⚠️ Confirmed: Metrics indicate a collapse in connectivity on AS12880, a key #Iran telecoms network that had so far remained partly online as part of the ~1% reserved state infrastructure. The incident corroborates reports of instability on the NIN domestic intranet.

[Iran International English @IranIntl_En]

Iran’s internet blackout has entered its 16th day and 360th hour, NetBlocks said, with the country now in its third week of severe restrictions and the public still largely cut off from international networks.

NetBlocks also said selected influencers continue to receive whitelisted access while state media report a new wave of arrests targeting Starlink users.
