The situation in Iran is becoming increasingly critical as reports indicate the country has entered its fourth week of nationwide internet shutdown. Monitoring data from NetBlocks suggests this is one of the longest and most severe blackouts in recent history.
Since the shutdown began, internet connectivity has dropped to around 1% of normal levels, effectively isolating millions from the outside world. � This has severely disrupted access to information, communication, banking services, and emergency updates.
Millions remain cut off from independent news, global communication, and critical safety information amid ongoing conflict, increasing the risk of misinformation and uncertainty within the country.
Analysts warn that such prolonged shutdowns carry not only social consequences but also economic and geopolitical implications. For global markets, reduced transparency from conflict zones can heighten volatility due to limited real-time data. $BTC
