@netblocks The more I think about it, the more I wonder if this blackout isn’t designed to protect their people rather than keep them in the dark. Cyberattacks on Iran’s critical infrastructure could damage water and power plants remotely without even using a missile. Disconnecting from the attacker’s network is probably wise.

@netblocks while this isn't technically incorrect from your point of view, "near-total disconnection" in practice isn't as rough as you make it sound. Iran is a country where VPNs and techniques to go around the blocks have been used by average citizens for years. I can confirm that my non-tech-savvy family has been reachable during the whole period including video calls except for a short period at the start of the war.
