伊朗在动荡期间多次切断电话和互联网接入，包括2019年和2022年的全国性中断。1月8日连通性降至正常水平的大约1%，并一直停留在那里，使当前的断网成为迄今最严重的一次，并扼杀了沟通和对外报道。
迹象表明，到1月12日抗议已放缓，此前数日中至少500人、可能超过1,000人被杀，尽管国家电视台展示了尸体，官员仍坚称局势处于“完全控制”之下，并暗示接入将恢复。该政权通过操纵边界网关协议路由、检查并阻断与VPN相关的数据包同时让政府网站仍可访问，以及把用户转到国家运营的国内网络来限制信息，尽管封堵VPN仍是不完美的“打地鼠”。
卫星绕过方式在增长——自2022年以来，被认为有数以万计的非法Starlink终端在流通——但观察者称，图像的流出在1月9日还是洪流，到1月11日就变成涓滴，因为服务变得零星或被切断。干扰可能来自靠近终端的局部Ka波段干扰，或来自更广泛的GPS干扰/欺骗使受地理围栏限制的设备困惑，而1月11日美国总统唐纳德·特朗普表示他想“让互联网恢复运转”，进攻性网络选项被视为困难，而通过诸如土耳其的路线向伊朗大量输送终端被描绘为更容易。
Iran has repeatedly cut phone and internet access during unrest, including nationwide disruptions in 2019 and 2022. On January 8 connectivity fell to about 1% of normal and has stayed there, making the current blackout the worst yet and choking communication and outside reporting.
Signs suggested protests had slowed by January 12 after days in which at least 500 and possibly more than 1,000 people were killed, even as state TV showed bodies and officials insisted the situation was under “total control” and hinted access would return. The regime restricts information by manipulating Border Gateway Protocol routes, inspecting and blocking VPN-linked data packets while leaving government sites reachable, and shifting users onto a state-run domestic network, though VPN blocking remains an imperfect “whack-a-mole”.
Satellite workarounds are growing—tens of thousands of illegal Starlink terminals are thought to be in circulation since 2022—but observers said the flow of images went from torrents on January 9 to a trickle by January 11 as service became patchy or cut. Disruption could come from localized Ka-band jamming near terminals or broader GPS jamming/spoofing that confuses geofenced equipment, while on January 11 President Donald Trump said he wanted to “get the internet going”, with offensive cyber options seen as hard and flooding Iran with terminals via routes such as Turkey portrayed as easier.
