Iran is currently facing the longest nationwide internet Blackout ever recorded, according to global internet monitoring group NetBlocks. The shutdown has raised serious concerns about communication and access to information in the country.
Reports state that the internet Blackout in Iran has now entered its 37th consecutive day. This equals more than 864 hours of disrupted connectivity across the country. Experts say this makes it the most severe and longest nation-scale shutdown recorded so far.
NetBlocks confirmed that the ongoing Blackout has surpassed all previous incidents in terms of duration and impact. The organization highlighted that no other country has experienced such a prolonged nationwide internet disruption.
The shutdown has affected millions of users. People are facing difficulties in accessing online services, communication platforms, and essential information. Businesses that rely on internet services are also experiencing losses.
NetBlocks noted that while some countries have faced longer disruptions, those were mostly limited to certain regions or occurred intermittently. In contrast, Iran’s current situation involves a continuous and nationwide Blackout, which is more significant.
The monitor also mentioned that countries like North Korea are not directly comparable. North Korea has limited or no connection to the global internet, while Iran previously had widespread internet access before the shutdown.
Experts believe that such long internet disruptions can have serious economic and social impacts. Communication gaps can affect education, trade, and emergency services. Citizens may also face challenges in staying informed about current events.
The situation has drawn attention from international observers. Many are concerned about the effects of prolonged internet restrictions on daily life and freedom of information.
Authorities in Iran have not provided detailed explanations for the extended Blackout. However, analysts suggest that security concerns and internal developments may be factors behind the decision.
The ongoing internet Blackout continues to be closely monitored by global organizations. Experts say the coming days will be important in determining how long the disruption will last.
