The current, ongoing near total Internet shutdown in Iran, disconnecting Iranians from the global Internet, is now longer than the January 2026 shutdown during nation-wide protests. This is the longest shutdown IODA has documented in Iran.

Evidence of power shortage in Cuba is visible in IODA's Internet connectivity signals. The ~20% drop in Active Probing occurred earlier this month and appears similar to historic power outages visible in IODA data.

During the short recovery, use of Mozilla's Firefox increased sharply.
Iran's connectivity to the global Internet briefly recovered on March 12 6:35 PM - 6:55 PM local time when a state-owned network (AS58224) that 32.9% of the population in Iran is connected to appeared to toggle its routing announcements off-on-off-on over a 40-minute period.

In addition to the ongoing shutdown of the Internet in Iran, IODA sees evidence of damage to critical Internet or power infrastructure through simultaneous drops in Routing Announcements across various networks.
For example, at ~6:00 PM local time today we see 5 networks show simultaneous drops.
BGP routes belonging to the network of the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (AS42586) were completely down between ~17:00 UTC on Mar-1 and ~10:00 UTC on Mar-2.

IODA's Telescope signal shows signs of sustained, partial recovery since ~7:30 PM Jan 24th. This is the first sign of sustained recovery of Telescope, which measures unsolicited Internet traffic rom Iran to the global Internet since the shutdown began.

Signs of restoration of the Internet in Iran have not translated to meaningful connectivity with the global Internet for Iranians.
Signs of domestic Internet whitelisting are apparent as Google Search usage in-country ticks up.
