⚠️ Update: #Iran's internet blackout has now passed the 24-hour mark with national connectivity flatlining at 1% of ordinary levels.

The measure limits civic engagement at a key moment for the country's future after the killing of Ayatollah Khamenei in US and Israeli airstrikes.

Who benefits from a block in communications? Apparently the US/Israel military thinks it benefits them, or else they would not have attacked a broadcasting station in Tehran.

Iran’s state broadcasting authority complex was hit by airstrikes. They publish content over #radio, #television, and the #internet .
