Iran’s previous web failures
Internet outages are commonly reported in Iran, generally as a result of infrastructure points, but in addition as a result of cyberattacks or restrictions imposed by the Islamic regime.
Iran has been working for years to isolate its web networks to guard in opposition to cyberattacks and forestall Iranians from freely accessing content material from around the globe.
