It’s been nearly three months of complete internet blackout.
Wall Street Journal Chinese (@ChineseWSJ): Against the backdrop of a war that has already devastated Iran’s economy, the internet blackout has further worsened the situation. Over a million people have lost their jobs, food prices have skyrocketed, and the local currency has plunged to historic lows. In addition to losing their jobs, Iranians now struggle to carry out basic daily tasks such as informing family members of their whereabouts, obtaining medical records after a doctor’s visit, or updating car software.

The November 12, 2023 incident was arguably the most severe in Fubao Cloud's history (the person directly responsible was someone I interviewed and hired back then; later I specifically met him in person for a retrospective, so I know it very well). Even if this incident were multiplied by 10, it still wouldn't be enough for the July 26, 2026 Chrysanthemum Cloud incident...
