Iran’s Internet Briefly Returns After Prolonged Shutdown
Reports indicate that some users were able to reconnect due to an “apparent filtering system glitch,” but the access was short-lived and quickly disappeared. The disruption is considered the second-longest internet shutdown recorded in the country.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that the blackout was intentionally enforced as a security precaution.
“The internet is closed because of security reasons, we are under attack, we are under aggression, and we have to do everything to protect our people,” he told a news agency, comparing it to wartime measures.
The outage comes amid ongoing US-Israeli military operations against Iran that began on February 28, which have reportedly resulted in around 1,300 deaths, including senior figures.
In response, Iran has launched drone and missile strikes targeting Israel, as well as Jordan, Iraq, and Gulf countries hosting US military assets, causing casualties, infrastructure damage, and disruptions to global markets and aviation.
