The internet in Iran was down for a full three days [at the end of last week], and there was no way to communicate with others. This outage has added to people’s fear and anxiety, as we no longer knew which cities had been bombed or which areas were under evacuation orders.

If the internet outage continues, many jobs will be lost.
