Iran's nationwide internet blackout entered its 36th consecutive day on Saturday, with connectivity at a near-total shutdown since the war began on 28 February. Internet monitoring group NetBlocks confirmed that access to the global internet has been cut for more than 840 hours. The blackout has left tens of millions of Iranians without access to outside information throughout the conflict.
