Iran's national internet blackout has now reached 37 consecutive days, setting a record for the longest internet shutdown in any country, according to NetBlocks, a London-based global internet monitor. The blackout has surpassed 864 hours, significantly impacting citizens' ability to communicate, document events, or receive real-time updates on the ongoing conflict in the region. This situation is reminiscent of a similar internet shutdown in January during widespread protests in Iran. Analysts warn that the prolonged lack of connectivity creates a 'fog of war,' isolating millions and preventing information from entering or leaving the country. Unlike North Korea, which is permanently isolated, Iran transitioned from a fully connected state to a closed national network, making this situation unique. Previous conflicts in Myanmar, Sudan, and Tigray experienced severe connectivity issues, but none have resulted in such an extensive national blackout.
