Iran's forced nationwide internet blackout becomes second-longest on record as it passes 1,000 hours offline — possessing Starlink terminals punishable by death, country using 'military-grade jamming' against service

Iran's nationwide internet blackout has surpassed 1,000 hours, making it one of the longest on record. The blackout, which began on February 28, is being enforced with military-grade jamming and severe penalties for possessing Starlink terminals, including potential execution. Iran has also threatened attacks on infrastructure owned by major tech companies. The blackout is causing significant economic and social disruptions, with human rights organizations condemning it as a violation of fundamental rights. Despite some limited internet traffic, the blackout remains in effect, impacting access to essential information during military actions.
