Iran shuts down internet, 'goes for near Blackout' as conflict with Israel deepens

Amid escalating tensions with Israel, Iran reportedly implemented a near-total internet blackout on Tuesday, according to NBC News. Connectivity plummeted around 5:30 p.m. local time, impacting VPNs and disconnecting major mobile networks. A government spokesperson cited Israeli cyberattacks as the reason. Restrictions mirror past actions during civil unrest, including a six-day blackout in 2019.
