Internet silence across Iran stretches beyond two months, exceeds 1,700 hours

A near-total nationwide internet blackout imposed by Iranian authorities has entered its 72nd day in its 11th week, surpassing the 1,700-hour mark, the monitoring group NetBlocks announced.

“The unprecedented measure is well into its third month with no indication of a wider restoration as authorities bar the general public from international access,” the group said on X.
