Reports from Iran suggest that authorities shut down internet access and cut electricity in multiple areas of Tehran on Monday night, following days of widespread anti-government protests. The move came despite heavy security deployment across the capital.
With mobile networks and power deliberately disrupted, protesters adapted by using their phone flashlights to light up the streets — a powerful symbol of unity and resistance. Videos emerging online show waves of moving lights in dark neighborhoods, highlighting both the scale of participation and efforts to erase visibility.
Human rights groups warn that this dual blackout — digital and electrical — is designed to slow momentum, block coordination, and prevent images from reaching the outside world. Internet shutdowns have increasingly become a common tool during unrest in Iran, drawing criticism from global free-speech organizations.
Despite the blackout, demonstrations continued late into the night, with chants against the regime and calls for political change. Analysts say the persistence of protests, even under heavy suppression, reflects deep public anger and signals that Iran’s internal crisis is far from over.
