No internet service in Iran for four days
An internet monitoring agency NetBlocks has found that internet service has been cut off in Iran for four days now. About a week ago, the government announced a sharp increase in oil prices. In response, there were violent protests in the country. But suddenly, all the new updates of protests stopped appearing at social media. Internet connections started to go dark on the evening of Saturday. Gradually afterwards there was a complete internet black out. And now there is no internet connectivity for four days. The monitoring agency NetBlocks has different tools to scrutinize the internet fluctuations in every region of the world. There is a live graph tracking Iran’s network connectivity. The graph showed that the internet traffic in the country has plummeted to 5% of normal levels.
