As the U.S. Iran conflict continues into its fifth week, Iran has continued to block its population from the international internet. Amir Rashidi of human rights nonprofit the Miaan Group explains how the internet currently works in Iran.
It is day 34 of the internet blackout in Iran. But while it is the longest in their history, it does not mean that Iranians are without internet.
In Iran, there is the global internet, and then the intranet, or National Information Network, which is controlled by the Iranian government. Right now, only the NIN is available, and Iranians have been digitally isolated from the outside world, according to Amir Rashidi, the director for digital rights and security at the Miaan Group, a human rights nonprofit.
“Marketplace Tech” host Meghan McCarty Carino spoke with Rashidi about the current status of internet connection in Iran.
