Iran imposes internet restrictions, according to monitoring group

Iran is currently experiencing a nationwide internet blackout, as reported by the London-based monitoring group NetBlocks. This disruption comes in the wake of ongoing protests that began on December 28 at Tehran’s Grand Bazaar, triggered by the severe depreciation of the Iranian rial and deteriorating economic conditions. The demonstrations have since expanded to various cities across the country. The situation highlights the government’s efforts to control dissent amid rising public unrest.
