Newsman: Iranians have been intermittently cut off from the world since the start of Israel’s air war on its military and nuclear sites more than a week ago, now joined by the United States.
Iran’s government has imposed a near countrywide internet blackout in recent days, saying it was necessary to prevent Israeli cyberattacks and for unspecified security reasons, though some residents have reported the shutdown’s efficacy has varied and sometimes they were able to get online. There have also been reported disruptions to cellphone text messages in Iran.
On Sunday, NetBlocks, an organization that monitors global Internet access, reported that connectivity in Iran “again collapsed” in the hours before the U.S. strikes.
NetBlocks also reported that Trump’s Truth Social platform was “experiencing international outages for many users,” a scenario it said was not related to “country-level Internet disruptions or filtering.”
