Iran Cuts Nation's Internet Amid Deadly Protest Crackdown

Iran is entering a third week of major nationwide protests. The demonstrations have turned violent and deadly. The unrest began two weeks ago with public anger over the country's failing economy. It has since escalated into broader protests against the government itself. In response, the regime has shut down key communication networks. This internet blackout is widely seen as an attempt to control information and stop protests from organizing. The full scale of the casualties and arrests remains unclear due to the information blockade.
