Iran’s nationwide internet shutdown entered its 44th day Sunday, exceeding 1,032 hours, according to data shared by internet monitoring group NetBlocks.
In a post on X, NetBlocks said: “Network data show Iran’s internet blackout is now in its 44th day, continuing in its seventh week past the 1032 hour mark,” alongside a graph showing network connectivity in the country.
Previous reports by NetBlocks and international media said the shutdown began Feb. 28 following U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran.
The blackout has now stretched beyond 40 days, making it one of the longest nationwide internet disruptions recorded in Iran, with most users limited to heavily restricted domestic networks.
