🇮🇷🇺🇸🇮🇱Iran's Internet Blackout Exceeds 144 Hours Amidst Restrictions Iran is transitioning to a National Information Network, effectively creating a closed intranet and restricting access to the global internet for its citizens. This move aims to control information flow and suppress dissent, mirroring a North Korean model. The regime has implemented a whitelist of approved services, including local search engines, government maps, and censored streaming platforms. Starlink terminals, previously smuggled into Iran, face satellite jamming with high packet loss. Despite widespread VPN usage, Iran cites foreign interference, particularly from the US and Israel, as justification for the increased internet control. The regime points to alleged campaigns involving deepfakes and social media manipulation aimed at destabilizing the Iranian government. The country has now been under a full internet blackout for over 144 hours. Minas Tirith | 24/7 News channel | Updated
