I remember reading about how Venezuela had an internet blackout preceding US attack, presumably the blackout was an attack by US "cyber". Ah, here we are. https://securitybrief.co.uk/story/us-cyber-attack-on-venezue...
The discussion here assumes that the Iranian government is responsible for this blackout. I actually don't understand enough about network routing to undestand the OP dashboard linked to or be able to answer this question, but could it instead be the work of an opponent preparing to attack Iran?
Seems more likely that an authoritarian regime is suppressing protests. Unless there has been a troop buildup of which I am unaware, there's no imminent invasion.
Iran has shut down the internet nationwide several times before, this is nothing new when there are protests.

Wow, that's a lot of Israeli operatives. Sounds like there are more Mossad agents living in Iran than there are Israelis living in Israel!
I mean, it’s not a lot. That’s the whole point. There’s not “massive protests”. Pure fiction.

Sure thing. I’m sure Israel also caused hyperinflation and stopped the rain from falling, right?
