In the wake of the US-Israeli strikes on February 28, 2026, internet access in Iran has been largely restricted, with significant implications for the population's online freedoms.
The Iranian government is now rolling out a differentiated access system, which will reserve internet privileges for select groups, further entrenching a tiered approach to online connectivity.
This move signals a broader trend towards a heavily regulated internet landscape in Iran, reflecting the government's increasing control over information and communication.
