🗓️ Exactly three weeks ago imposed a national internet blackout to obscure civilian killings. Whitelisting and heavy filtering are still in effect.

The incident is among the most severe of its kind on record, exceeded in duration only during civil war in Myanmar and Sudan.

Graph from NetBlocks showing network connectivity in Iran from January 2, 2026, to January 29, 2026. The y-axis represents normalized connectivity from 0% to 100%, and the x-axis represents dates. The green line representing Iran's connectivity remains normal most of the time period, with a sharp drop on the evening of January 8, when connectivity falls from above 90% to near zero. Connectivity remains almost entirely offline for an extended period, with only minimal and sporadic activity, before a partial restoration appears at the end of the period on January 27 under heavy filtering. A red horizontal arrow labelled “SHUTDOWN” marks the duration of the disruption, with an annotation on the top right reading “filtered intermittent connectivity.” The disruption aligns with a nationwide internet shutdown imposed by authorities amid unrest. The minimum and current connectivity levels are shown as 1% and 95%, respectively. The chart has a dark background and includes the NetBlocks logo in the lower left corner.
