"On February 28, hours after the United States and Israel launched attacks on
Iran, the Iranian regime imposed a nationwide internet shutdown.
Roughly one week into the conflict, it is estimated only around 1% of normal
internet traffic remains accessible across the country.
This represents one of the rare instances in modern history in which a
government has almost entirely disconnected its own population from the
internet during a major military crisis.
The risks this creates can be fatal. Civilians are unable to access real-time
information about imminent attacks – and are more likely to get caught in the
crosshairs of war.
At the same time, Iranian officials have launched a propaganda campaign to
target US audiences online, revealing a cruel irony for Iranian citizens."
