Iran’s near-total internet disruption is continuing, with internet monitoring organization NetBlocks reporting that the country is now “entering day 64 of near-total isolation from international networks.”
According to the watchdog, the widespread restrictions began following renewed anti-government protests in early January, The Caspian Post reports.

The situation further intensified after the outbreak of the US-Israel war on Iran at the end of February.
