Iran’s Internet Blackout Enters 20th Day

TEHRAN, Mar 19: Iran’s internet blackout has entered its 20th day, leaving the general public without international connectivity for over 456 hours, according to data from NetBlocks.

The ongoing shutdown is now the longest recorded in Iran’s history, surpassing the blackout imposed during protests earlier this year in January.

No official timeline has been given for restoring full internet access, as authorities continue to restrict connectivity across the country.
