Iran disconnected from the internet: what is known
This was reported by the international monitoring organization NetBlocks, which monitors the stability of Internet connections and cybersecurity issues in different countries around the world.
– Data shows Iran has been offline for more than 12 hours as authorities imposed a nationwide internet shutdown, citing possible “military abuse” of the network by Israel, NetBlocks said in a statement.
According to their data, the blockade began at around 5:30 p.m. local time on June 18, and online access in the country has remained almost completely black since then.

Tehran explains such measures by the need to protect national security amid growing tensions with Israel, which, according to Iranian authorities, may use the Internet to coordinate military actions.
According to The Wall Street Journal, US President Donald Trump has agreed to a plan for a military strike on Iran, but has not yet made a final decision on its implementation.
According to the publication, Trump told his senior advisers on Tuesday evening that he supported the prepared attack options.
At the same time, as sources note, he continues to delay the final decision in the hope that the Iranian authorities will abandon the further development of their nuclear program.
