Iran closed all internet access

I just read this statement, so our lack of hearing from Soosie does not mean anything bad has happened.

Access to the Internet is 100% controlled by the government and they can shut it off anytime they want.

However, Iran is a large country that shares a nearly 1,000 miles of border with Iraq, so people still get access through cross-border access. Just don't get caught, because the penalty could be a quick execution.

The part of Iran that border Iraqi Kurdistan has better access, because the Mullahs secret police does not like to venture into Kurd-controlled areas.

@Northwest Apparently, they must have some way to jam the local access as well. The article i read said it was sure that 99% was cut off.

99% was cut off.

That about covers the habitable area along the border. Jamming can be done in small areas and os a double edged sword.

@jshm2 not according to the reporter Parin Behrooz. Another expert, Doug Msdory, 99% of Iranians lack internet service.

You can still get news and internet in Iran.

If by Iran you mean along the border with Iraq, especially Kurdistan. People caught in Tehran face execution.
