Ongoing Iranian internet blackout as protests persist

On January 26, 2026, Iran continued to experience a near‑total internet blackout imposed by government authorities as part of efforts to suppress the 2025–2026 nationwide protests. Since early January, Iranian telecom disruptions have included widespread blocking of domestic and international internet access, with service restricted even within major cities including Tehran and Isfahan. Security measures also reportedly included jamming of civilian satellite internet signals. These actions have significantly limited communication and protest organization across the country.
