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.
