Iran Experiences Significant Internet Disruption Amidst Protests, Connectivity Drops Sharply

Internet connectivity in Iran has been significantly curtailed, with Cloudflare Radar reporting a near 98.5% drop in the country's IPv6 address space and a sharp fall in IPv6 traffic. Social media posts and NetBlocks suggest this disruption, affecting multiple providers, is a deliberate throttling amid ongoing protests, consistent with past government actions. While low-earth-orbit services like Starlink could offer alternatives, their widespread use in Iran is limited.
