Revision History

Iran has maintained a near-total internet blackout for 30 consecutive days following joint U.S.-Israeli military strikes that began on February 28, 2026, reducing connectivity to approximately 1% of normal levels and cutting off an estimated 92 million people. Israeli officials claim the shutdown is designed to conceal physical damage from strikes and suppress domestic dissent, while the economic toll mounts at an estimated $37 million per day and international bodies demand restoration of access under international human rights law.
