Iran Tightens Internet Curbs on Eve of Festival Tied to Protests

Iran’s internet, which has been heavily throttled by the regime since the outbreak of war, has gone even darker over the past 48 hours, according to network monitoring firms and local activists.

The Iranian regime has been further restricting what little connectivity remained in the local telecommunications network in an apparent effort to curb the use of virtual private networks, according to analysis from Netblocks and Kentik, two firms that monitor internet traffic.
