Iran’s internet is still nearly down after 120+ hours of blackout from U.S.-Israel strikes, disrupting communications and raising global energy fears.

Iran’s internet remains at about 1% of normal levels after over 120 hours of widespread blackout, according to Netblocks, following air strikes by Israel and the U.S. The outage, the second nationwide shutdown in 2026, has crippled communication, blocked access to global news, and disrupted international calls and messaging. Limited texting and brief connectivity windows persist, with some Iranians using illegal Starlink devices. Telecom providers threaten legal action against users bypassing restrictions. The blackout coincides with a sharp drop in tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, raising global energy concerns. U.S. and Israeli military assets are on high alert, with repeated missile warnings in Israel and evacuation efforts underway for foreign nationals.
