According to a report from the internet traffic monitoring community NetBlocks, domestic internet connectivity in Iran has plummeted to near-zero levels. This drastic decline stems from a directive by the Iranian government instructing internet service providers to proactively sever access to the global internet in response to potential cyberattacks.
Iran initially enacted this nationwide shutdown of internet and telephone services on June 19, aiming to thwart potential Israeli cyber offensives targeting infrastructure within the country. The Ministry of Information and Communications Technology justified the move, stating that given the adversary’s exploitation of Iran’s communications networks, the suspension of internet access was both necessary and temporary.
At present, Iran’s internet traffic has plummeted from full capacity to merely 3% of its usual volume. This remaining connectivity likely represents internal services or domestic websites that are still reachable, though no official list has been provided specifying which platforms remain accessible.
The shutdown of telephone communication poses additional challenges. International calls—both to and from Iran—are reportedly inoperative. While domestic phone calls within Iran still appear to function, outbound international calling has been rendered impossible.
As of this publication, Iran has remained largely disconnected from the internet for over 40 hours. Only a handful of users—leveraging complex VPN chains—retain partial access to the outside web, while the vast majority are unable to reach news or video platforms either directly or indirectly.
Additionally, Iranian authorities have urged citizens to uninstall the WhatsApp messaging application. Officials allege the app could potentially harvest user data and relay it to hostile entities, including geolocation information purportedly transmitted to Israel. Despite its end-to-end encryption, WhatsApp remains one of the most widely used messaging platforms in Iran.
