The internet shutdown in Iran has entered its 47th day, with the country experiencing a near-total digital isolation since the start of the US-Israeli war. According to NetBlocks, the internet has been down for 1,104 hours, making it one of the longest shutdowns in history.
The Iranian government initially blocked access to the internet shortly after the conflict began, and later restricted digital access after fresh protests took place in early January.
Millions of citizens have been left without communication channels, with internal networks partially functional but international platforms restricted.
However, Tehran has begun restoring limited internet connectivity to some businesses and individuals, with state-backed telecommunications firms offering a "pro internet" package.
This move could signal an effort to minimize economic damage from the nationwide shutdown, which has been estimated to cost the country $30-40 million per day.
A US official has stated that there is "continued engagement" between the two sides to reach a deal, but the Trump administration has not yet formally agreed to extending the temporary ceasefire.
