🔹 Iran – Total internet blackout. 90 million people cut off.
🔹 USA – FCC warning media; Pentagon bans cameras from war briefings.
🔹 UAE – 45 arrested for filming missiles in the sky.
🔹 Israel – Military censor blocks bomb impact locations.
🔹 Qatar – 313 arrested in one week for sharing attack footage.
🔹 Turkey – 41 social media accounts blocked for “disinformation.”
🔹 Saudi Arabia – Journalists banned from reporting on missile intercepts.
🔹 Jordan – Government bans videos or reports on military ops.
🔹 Kuwait – 3 arrested for social media posts about the army.
🔹 Bahrain – 6 arrested for pro-Iran content.
🔹 UK – Protest march banned over the war.
🔹 China – War news tightly controlled; keywords deleted.
🔹 Indonesia – New law to restrict war content online.
🔹 Algeria – Journalist Ahmed Hafs’i’s account suspended.
