According to Deutsche Welle, Iran has experienced almost a complete internet shutdown due to protests related to the sharp decline in the value of the rial. The British organization NetBlocks confirmed that the country is undergoing an "almost complete nationwide internet blackout." Cloudflare services report that on January 8, internet traffic in Iran decreased by approximately 90%.
Preliminary data indicates that only officials and security forces have access to the internet, reports dpa.
In addition to this, U.S. President Donald Trump, in an interview with Salem News Channel, reiterated threats against the Iranian authorities. "I have made it clear that we will act decisively if they continue to kill people, which happens quite often during their unrest - and they have quite a bit of unrest," Trump emphasized, adding that Iranians are "brave people." He noted that his administration is closely monitoring the situation.
