Politicians’ access to social networks
Despite the internet outage, many high-ranking Iranian officials continue to publish posts on social networks in which they primarily criticize the United States and Israel and threaten them with retaliation for each of the attacks. The situation in the Persian Gulf has been escalating since February 28, when Israel and the US launched their attacks on Iran.
According to NetBlocks, Tehran imposed similar internet restrictions during the nationwide anti-government protests that began on December 28, 2025, triggered by economic problems caused by a sharp drop in the Iranian rial and rising inflation. The protests gradually spread from Tehran to the whole country and gradually subsided after the brutal interventions of the security forces in January.
