⚠️ Update: #Iran is entering Nowruz, the Persian New Year, in digital darkness, as the internet blackout continues into day 21 after 480 hours.

With international connectivity cut and domestic service limited, many families are unable to contact loved ones when it's most needed.

⚠️ Update: #Iran's internet blackout has entered its 20th day, with international connectivity unavailable to the general public for over 456 hours.

The incident is now the longest recorded shutdown in Iran's history, surpassing the blackout imposed during protests in January.

⚠️ Confirmed: Metrics indicate a collapse in connectivity on AS12880, a key #Iran telecoms network that had so far remained partly online as part of the ~1% reserved state infrastructure. The incident corroborates reports of instability on the NIN domestic intranet.
⚠️ Update: #Iran's internet blackout has entered day 16 as the measure continues in its third week, with the public cut off from international networks for 360 hours. Chosen influencers enjoy whitelisting while state media report a new wave of arrests targeting Starlink users.

⚠️ Update: Metrics show #Iran remains in digital darkness after six full days under an internet blackout, with 1% connectivity at the 144 hour mark.

Meanwhile, the regime continues to promote its agenda through whitelisted networks, cultivating media assets at home and abroad.

After they were made the artist had a relatively obscure ukiyo-e artist named Utagawa Yoshishige to illustrate them: https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/53-stations-of-the-tokaido-as-potted-landscapes-1848

⚠️ Update: #Iran's internet blackout has now exceeded 120 hours with connectivity still flatlining around 1% of ordinary levels.

Meanwhile, an increasingly Orwellian environment is emerging as telcos threaten users who try to connect to the global internet with legal action.

⚠️ Update: #Iran's internet blackout has entered its fourth day, with the national censorship measure now in place for over 72 hours.

The silencing of authentic Iranian voices is fueling a surge in misinformation as pro-regime accounts fill the void with their own narrative.
