The internet shutdown in Iran has entered its third month, according to NetBlocks — and there is no indication when it will end, CNN reports.
The outage has now exceeded 1704 hours, the monitoring group said.
"This unprecedented measure is now well into its third month with no indication of a wider rollback, as authorities deny international access to the general public," NetBlocks added.
The ongoing restrictions have been in place since the US and Israeli attacks on Iran on February 28, following a shorter, sporadic internet shutdown implemented in January during anti-government protests. These prompted a brutal crackdown by Iranian authorities.
Iran has consistently used internet blackouts during periods of unrest, where access to the global internet is severely restricted or cut off completely, making foreign sites and apps inaccessible.
During major outages, authorities often keep parts of the local internet functional, allowing access to local banking and government services, while cutting off communication with the outside world.
