🗓️ Today marks the 80th day of #Iran's internet blackout, with the shutdown passing 1896 hours. Meanwhile, pro-regime content floods social media, as Iranians seeking to get pro/whitelist access say they are being asked to meet a quota of daily propaganda posts, policed by AI.

🛠️ It's now the 69th day of #Iran's internet blackout after 1632 hours largely cut off from international networks. The shutdown continues to drive job losses with a disproportionate impact on independent workers, effectively redistributing wealth to regime-aligned groups.

☎️ It's now day 61 of #Iran's internet blackout as the nation-scale censorship measure surpasses 1440 hours.
As the shutdown continues in its third month, Iran's digital environment is more tightly controlled than ever with all communication channels restricted and monitored.

🗓️ Exactly two months ago on 28 February, #Iran was thrown into digital darkness as authorities cut off access to the global internet.
Metrics show the blackout is now entering its 60th day after 1416 hours despite regime efforts to introduce tiered access for privileged groups.

⏱️ The internet blackout in #Iran has now surpassed the 1200 hour mark, continuing in its eighth week as of day 51.
As peace negotiations appear to flounder, one of the most important factors for Iranians, the restoration of international connectivity, is still overlooked.

⏱️ It's now day 45 of #Iran's internet blackout, with international connectivity severed for over 1056 hours. Regime figures and whitelisted influencers post freely on social media while they silence a population of 90 million whom they claim to serve.

⚠️ Update: It's now day 41 of #Iran's internet blackout, with the regime's ban on access to global networks continuing past 960 hours. The measure, unprecedented in scale and duration for a connected society, continues to violate Iranians' rights to communicate and stay informed.

⚠️ Update: Metrics show #Iran has entered the 39th day of an internet blackout that has been in place for over 912 hours. The measure leaves most Iranians isolated from the global network known as the internet, with only a domestic digital service, or intranet, now available.

Day 35 of war with Iran and only 1% of the population have internet.
That 1% isn’t normal citizens. The vast majority are regime agents on white SIM cards — the ones the government still keeps online so they can flood every platform with their narrative.
People like me with Starlink or expensive configs? We’re 1% of that 1%. A tiny, fragile window to the outside world.
And sometimes it feels crushing. Every single day I’m trying to push back against the tsunami of propaganda the regime and its supporters (both inside Iran and abroad) are pumping out.
Every lie, every edited video, every twisted narrative. I screenshot, I translate, I document, I reply, I post, I repost… and I still catch myself thinking: Am I doing enough? Because when almost nobody else can even get online, it starts to feel like the truth is resting on the shoulders of a handful of us who have to fight tooth and nail to still have signal.
If you’re reading this and you still have internet, you’re not just scrolling. You’re one of the last witnesses. Don’t look away. Be our voice.

35 consecutive days of #DigitalBkackOutIran not to mention most of January when the massacres of tens of thousands of innocent protesters took place. But let’s focus on what Pete Hegseth said coz that’s way more important.

The regime secretly hanged 4 political prisoners within 24 hours.
Now, 7 more are at risk.
Each of them detained during the January protests and convicted of “enmity against God” (defying the supreme leader) through sham trials and tortured confessions.
Be their voice.

Iranian human rights lawyer and activist Nasrin Sotoudeh was arrested last night, according to an Instagram post by her daughter.

Iran’s judiciary said on Thursday it had carried out the execution of Amirhossein Hatami, a protest detainee convicted in a case linked to a fire at a Basij base in Tehran during January protests.
The judiciary said Hatami had been arrested in connection with the fire at the Kaveh Basij base on Damavand Street.
Iran International previously reported that five detainees in the same case had been moved from a general ward in Qezel Hesar prison to an undisclosed location for execution.
The other detainees named in the report were Mohammadamin Biglari, Shahin Vahedparast, Abolfazl Salehi and Ali Fahim.
Rights groups have raised concerns about forced confessions and due process in such cases in Iran.

Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi is in critical condition after suffering a heart attack in Zanjan prison and has been denied access to specialized medical care, the Narges Foundation said.
In a statement on Tuesday, the foundation said Iranian authorities have refused to transfer Mohammadi to a hospital or allow her to be examined by a specialist, despite reports of her losing consciousness, experiencing severe chest pain and medical recommendations for an urgent angiography.
The group warned that her life is at risk in prison and criticized what it described as continued restrictions on her basic rights, including limited phone contact, a ban on communication with lawyers and the requirement that visits take place in the presence of security officials.
The foundation called for the immediate and unconditional release of Mohammadi and other political inmates and prisoners of conscience.
