According to a report by Agence France-Presse (AFP), global internet monitoring organization NetBlocks said that Iran has imposed a nationwide internet shutdown for over a month, setting a new record for the longest countrywide blackout in history.

NetBlocks stated: “Iran has now enforced an internet shutdown for 37 consecutive days, totaling 864 hours, marking the longest nationwide outage ever recorded. The severity of the disruption also surpasses other comparable cases.” NetBlocks added that while some countries have experienced longer periods of intermittent or localized outages, North Korea has never been connected to the global internet in the first place.
