Iran's internet is still "around 1 percent of ordinary levels", monitor Netblocks said on Thursday, leaving most Iranians struggling to access independent news or communicate with the outside world. "Iran's internet blackout has now exceeded 120 hours with connectivity still flatlining around 1 percent of ordinary levels," internet monitor Netblocks said in a message posted on social media platform X on Thursday.
