The IODA team and Project Ainita have documented a measurement-based perspective of the ongoing shutdown cutting Iran off from the global Internet. The Iranian regime has morphed a "stealth Internet blackout" from June 2025 into a new Internet. ioda.inetintel.cc.gatech.edu/reports/from...

A recent target of airstrikes, Sharif University of Technology (AS12660) went offline at 23:12 UTC (2:42am local) today. apnews.com/video/ict-bu... @ioda.live view: ioda.inetintel.cc.gatech.edu/asn/12660-IR...

The damage to Amazon Web Services (AS16509) in Bahrain is also visible in IODA with Active Probing dropping to 0% and BGP making a slight drop at 12:50 UTC. Follow connectivity of AS16509 in near realtime: ioda.inetintel.cc.gatech.edu/asn/16509-BH... @amazonwebservices.bsky.social

The current, ongoing near total Internet shutdown in Iran, disconnecting Iranians from the global Internet, is now longer than the January 2026 shutdown during nation-wide protests. This is the longest shutdown IODA has documented in Iran. ioda.inetintel.cc.gatech.edu/country/IR?f...

Evidence of power shortage in Cuba is visible in IODA's Internet connectivity signals. The ~20% drop in Active Probing occurred earlier this month and appears similar to historic power outages visible in IODA data. ioda.inetintel.cc.gatech.edu/country/CU?f...

Iran's connectivity to the global Internet briefly recovered on March 12 6:35 PM - 6:55 PM local time when a state-owned network (AS58224) that 32.9% of the population in Iran is connected to appeared to toggle its routing announcements off-on-off-on over a 40-minute period.

In addition to the ongoing shutdown of the Internet in Iran, IODA sees evidence of damage to critical Internet or power infrastructure through simultaneous drops in Routing Announcements across various networks. For example, at ~6:00 PM local time today we see 5 networks show simultaneous drops.

BGP routes belonging to the network of the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (AS42586) were completely down between ~17:00 UTC on Mar-1 and ~10:00 UTC on Mar-2. See @ioda.live here: ioda.inetintel.cc.gatech.edu/asn/42586?fr... themedialine.org/top-stories/...

IODA shows the Internet in Iran has been cutoff from the global Internet since ~7:00 AM UTC. The regime implemented a similar Internet shutdown when Israel attacked Iran in June of 2025. Follow connectivity in Iran in near realtime: ioda.inetintel.cc.gatech.edu/country/IR?f...

As of 3:30 AM IST, January 27, IODA observed a sharp increase in Active Probing. This signal measures connectivity to the global Internet by pinging devices on Iranian networks and collecting responses in order to label networks as connected. ioda.inetintel.cc.gatech.edu/country/IR?f...

IODA's Telescope signal shows signs of sustained, partial recovery since ~7:30 PM Jan 24th. This is the first sign of sustained recovery of Telescope, which measures unsolicited Internet traffic rom Iran to the global Internet since the shutdown began. ioda.inetintel.cc.gatech.edu/country/IR?f...
