The Internet service collapsed on Wednesday in Iran after the Israeli bombings in the afternoon, which caused the fall of numerous websites, including the IRNA media portal, as well as generalized interruptions in communications by data telephony, according to specialized companies specialized in digital traffic monitoring.
The Netblocks site, which usually monitors the internet data internationally, reported in its X account that the service is fallen in Iran.
“Live network data show that Iran is in the middle of an almost total national internet blackout,” he said.
As noted, the incident follows a series of partial disruptions and arrives in the middle of an escalation of military tensions with Israel ».
