It is estimated that 300 people lost their lives in the protests that started when the people reacted to price hikes in the middle of November. The protests had turned into a big rebellion against the system. 

Network data from the NetBlocks internet observatory confirm disruptions to mobile networks in Iran on the morning of Wednesday, 25 December. Users report service failures in multiple cities, although the extent of the disruptions has not yet been corroborated.

The November disruptions were introduced through 24 hours culminating in a disconnection of all mobile networks followed by a near-total national internet blackout and partial shutdown of telephony services lasting several days.

During that period, access to limited national services became available for some users as part of the country’s national intranet, or National Information Network.
