@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.
