Iran’s regime has shut down internet in middle of war – placing civilians in crosshairs

DUBLIN: (Mar 6) On February 28, hours after the US and Israel launched attacks on Iran, the Iranian regime imposed a nationwide internet shutdown.

Roughly one week into the conflict, it is estimated only around 1 per cent of normal internet traffic remains accessible across the country.

This represents one of the rare instances in modern history in which a government has almost entirely disconnected its own population from the internet during a major military crisis.
