BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 11. Iran has been
without internet access for more than 1,000 hours, Trend reports, citing the
real-time digital monitoring platform NetBlocks.


The platform reported that while Iran’s domestic intranet, used
for internal communications, banking operations, and other
services, remains operational, access to the World Wide Web (WWW)
has been unavailable for over 41 days.


According to the information, the Iranian government restricted
access to the international network following the outbreak of war
in the country.


NetBlocks is a global internet monitoring platform that tracks
outages, social media restrictions, and cybersecurity incidents in
real time, providing transparency on digital rights and access to
information based on technical measurements and open-source
data.


On February 28, the U.S. and Israel launched military operations
against Iran. Strikes were carried out against the country’s
largest cities, including Tehran. The White House justified the
attack by citing missile and nuclear threats emanating from the
Islamic Republic. As a result of the strikes on Iran, the country’s
Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and several other key
figures in the leadership were killed. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary
Guard Corps announced a large-scale retaliatory operation against
Israel. Iran also targeted U.S. facilities in Bahrain, Jordan,
Iraq, Qatar, Kuwait, the UAE, Oman, Saudi Arabia, and Syria with
ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones.







The conflict has placed the region’s energy infrastructure and
maritime shipping under serious threat. Due to security tensions in
the Strait of Hormuz, global oil prices have surged.


On April 7, the U.S. and Iran reached an agreement on a
temporary ceasefire lasting approximately two weeks, aimed at
preventing further escalation of hostilities and creating
opportunities for negotiations. According to reports, the agreement
was reached with Pakistan acting as a mediator. One of the key
points is Iran’s commitment to reopen the Strait of Hormuz to
international shipping, and the parties also agreed to cease
attacks and prepare for negotiations.
