Nearly all of Iran left without internet
On Wednesday, June 18, nearly all of Iran experienced major internet access disruptions. The exact cause remains unknown.
This was reported by NetBlocks, a service that monitors internet freedom worldwide, according to Censor.NET.
"Real-time network data show that Iran is currently in a state of near-total national internet outage," the statement said.
It is also noted that a series of disruptions had already been recorded in the country the day before.
"The incident follows a series of earlier partial disruptions and comes amid escalating military tensions with Israel after several days of reciprocal missile strikes," NetBlocks reported.
Traffic has reportedly dropped to approximately 3% of normal usage. The reason for the internet blackout remains unclear.
