Iran's connectivity to the global Internet briefly recovered on March 12 6:35 PM - 6:55 PM local time when a state-owned network (AS58224) that 32.9% of the population in Iran is connected to appeared to toggle its routing announcements off-on-off-on over a 40-minute period.

Unusual event observed on AS58224 (TCI) in #Iran today. ~15:00 UTC, they briefly withdrew 74% of announced IPv4 space. After recovering, #Internet traffic from the network skyrocketed. ~15:30, it briefly withdrew all announced IPv4 space. After recovery, traffic again returned to near-zero.

In addition to the ongoing shutdown of the Internet in Iran, IODA sees evidence of damage to critical Internet or power infrastructure through simultaneous drops in Routing Announcements across various networks. For example, at ~6:00 PM local time today we see 5 networks show simultaneous drops.

BGP routes belonging to the network of the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (AS42586) were completely down between ~17:00 UTC on Mar-1 and ~10:00 UTC on Mar-2. See @ioda.live here: ioda.inetintel.cc.gatech.edu/asn/42586?fr... themedialine.org/top-stories/...
