Over a month offline… and still counting
Since late February 2026, Iran has been experiencing a nationwide internet shutdown — now lasting more than 38 days, making it one of the longest blackouts in recent history.
Access to the global internet has been largely cut off.
Instead, many people can only use the National Information Network — a state-controlled system separate from the open web.
Reports suggest:
Heavy restrictions on information
Certain keywords being blocked
Rising costs for limited access (up to $24 per GB)
The shutdown began after rising tensions and unrest, and intensified as the situation escalated.
For millions of people, this means:
Limited communication
Restricted access to information
Reduced connection to the outside world
Experts say the biggest impact isn’t just technical…
It’s about awareness, access, and the ability to stay informed.
And for now, there’s no clear timeline for when things will return to normal.
