The Iranian government has announced that “temporary restrictions” have been placed on internet connections in the country. It added that restrictions would be lifted once the “situation returns to normal”.
This could have an impact on how much material we can source and verify today following last night’s Israeli strikes. Much of the footage and pictures we’re seeing is being shared by locals online.
We don’t know exactly how extensive these restrictions are - whether the whole country is offline or if Iranians can get around the restrictions using virtual private networks which routes traffic through a server elsewhere.
We’ve contacted the internet monitoring organisation, Netblocks, to see if it is able to provide an assessment of what the situation is today.
