Iran imposed its longest internet blackout in history beginning February 28, restricting most citizens to state-controlled domestic networks while citing national security concerns amid conflict with the United States and Israel. The shutdown has devastated the economy, with estimated daily losses of $37.7 million, left most Iranians unable to access online work, and created what residents describe as "digital apartheid" by restricting global internet access to the wealthy and regime-connected.
