<\/a>Iran\u2019s Internet Blackout Hits Record Length as Regime Tries to Crush Dissent in Digital Darkness<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n Ailin Vilches Arguello<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Iran\u2019s internet blackout became the longest such nationwide shutdown ever recorded over the weekend, as the regime continued to\u00a0face mounting military pressure, internal unrest<\/a>, and growing isolation.<\/span><\/p>\n According to NetBlocks, an internet-monitoring watchdog that tracks global connectivity disruptions, Iran\u2019s blackout entered its 37th consecutive day on Sunday, making it the longest nation-scale internet shutdown on record after authorities severed internet access as the war with the US and Israel broke out in late February.<\/span><\/p>\n The blackout continued on Monday, with the general public cut off from international networks for over 888 hours.<\/span><\/p>\n With the regime attempting to\u00a0suppress internal opposition and silence domestic dissent<\/a>, the blackout has effectively cut millions of Iranians off from independent reporting on the war and access to global news.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWe constantly find ourselves searching for ways to reconnect, just to be able to hear reliable news,\u201d a 47-year-old woman in the central city of Isfahan told AFP on Saturday.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cBeing without internet feels like being without oxygen to me. I feel trapped and suffocated,\u201d a 53-year-old man in Tehran also said.<\/span><\/p>\n Iranian authorities have even warned that citizens suspected of accessing internet through virtual private networks (VPNs) \u2014 tools that bypass government censorship \u2014 could face arrest or imprisonment.<\/span><\/p>\n According to state media reports, Iranian security forces have arrested several citizens in recent weeks for\u00a0using the Starlink satellite internet system<\/a>, which allows users to bypass state-controlled terrestrial infrastructure.<\/span><\/p>\n Iran\u2019s latest internet shutdown marks the second nationwide blackout in less than two months, after authorities previously imposed an 18-day outage in January during mass anti-government protests, which security forces violently crushed, leaving tens of thousands of demonstrators tortured or killed.<\/span><\/p>\n Human rights groups warn the regime has repeatedly used nationwide internet shutdowns as a tool to intensify its crackdown on opposition movements and conceal ongoing abuses from international scrutiny.<\/span><\/p>\n In recent years, Iranian authorities have accelerated efforts to sever the country\u2019s reliance on the global web by advancing the regime-backed \u201cNational Internet\u201d project aimed at consolidating\u00a0state control over digital communications and information flows<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n Meanwhile, the Islamist regime continues to face relentless pressure from US and Israeli strikes as the conflict escalates and prospects for negotiations become increasingly fragile.<\/span><\/p>\n In one of its latest attacks, Israel announced that Iran\u2019s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) intelligence chief Brig. Gen. Majid Khademi and Quds Force special operations commander Asghar Bagheri were both killed over the weekend.<\/span><\/p>\n This latest strike on leadership represents a \u201csignificant blow to Iran\u2019s intelligence leadership at a time when the regime is already under sustained pressure,\u201d an Israeli security official told Fox News.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n According to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), Khademi orchestrated overseas terrorist operations and oversaw surveillance targeting Iranian civilians during\u00a0the regime\u2019s brutal crackdown on protests<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n Part of Iran\u2019s elite military force, Bagheri coordinated the recruitment of terrorist operatives across the Middle East and directed deadly attacks against US and Israeli targets abroad.<\/span><\/p>\n On Monday, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz announced the IDF also struck Iran\u2019s largest petrochemical facility in Asaluyeh, a blow that has effectively taken offline the two plants responsible for roughly 85 percent of the country\u2019s petrochemical exports, crippling a key pillar of Iran\u2019s economy and export capacity.<\/span><\/p>\n Katz described the strikes as \u201ca severe economic blow to the Iranian regime, amounting to tens of billions of dollars.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cIsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and I have\u00a0instructed the IDF to continue to attack<\/a>\u00a0the national infrastructure of the Iranian terror regime with all its might,\u201d the Israeli defense chief said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe Iranian terror regime will discover that the continued aggression against Israel and the cowardly and criminal fire at Israeli citizens will lead to the deepening of the economic and strategic damage it is paying and the collapse of its capabilities,\u201d he continued.<\/span><\/p>\n Zawarto\u015b\u0107 publikowanych artyku\u0142\u00f3w i materia\u0142\u00f3w nie reprezentuje pogl\u0105d\u00f3w ani opinii Reunion’68,<\/em> Iran\u2019s Internet Blackout Hits Record Length as Regime Tries to Crush Dissent in Digital Darkness Ailin Vilches Arguello People attend the funeral of the security forces who were killed in the protests that erupted over the collapse of the currency\u2019s value in Tehran, Iran, Jan. 14, 2026.
