  2. ⚠️ Update: Metrics show #Iran remains offline more than 84 hours into a regime-imposed internet blackout. Access to the open internet is a lifeline in times of crisis and the shutdown shows a disregard for the public's right to stay informed and engage in their country's future.

  3. ⚠️ Update: #Iran's internet blackout has entered its fourth day, with the national censorship measure now in place for over 72 hours. The silencing of authentic Iranian voices is fueling a surge in misinformation as pro-regime accounts fill the void with their own narrative.

  4. ⚠️ Update: #Iran's internet blackout has now passed the 60-hour mark. The incident leaves the people cut off from the world without access to sources of information vital for safety and situational awareness, and out of touch with loved ones abroad as the conflict escalates.

  5. ⚠️ Update: #Iran's internet blackout has now surpassed 48 hours, leaving its population of 90 million out of touch as war spreads. Shutdowns are a go-to tactic for the regime, with the previous instance in January lasting several weeks and masking severe human rights violations.

  6. ⚠️ Update: #Iran has now been cut off from the world for 36 hours with metrics showing connectivity at 1% of ordinary levels. The internet blackout imposed on Saturday morning continues to limit Iranians' access to information as the war with the US and Israel widens regionally.

  7. ⚠️ Update: #Iran's internet blackout has now passed the 24-hour mark with national connectivity flatlining at 1% of ordinary levels. The measure limits civic engagement at a key moment for the country's future after the killing of Ayatollah Khamenei in US and Israeli airstrikes.

  8. ⚠️ Update: Metrics show #Iran has been offline for 12 hours after the regime imposed a nationwide internet blackout amid US and Israeli military strikes. While most countries work to stay connected in times of international conflict, Iran has again silenced its own population.
