I'm an Iranian American. There is no Internet. Only people who work for the government have limited Internet. We can't call phone numbers in Iran. They can call our phone in the US (they will get a sms or call shortly after ending the call saying that we the government was monitoring the conversation) and these calls are very expensive for them. This situation is not sustainable. There are many businesses in Iran that rely on Internet. Millions of Iranian live outside of the country and haven't been able to talk to their family and friends. Not sure how long will this internet blockade will continue.
The Iranian regieme shot (and I can only assume continues to shoot) citizens at a large scale, so I doubt small businesses collapsing or people being unable to talk to family and friends is what's going to make them re-enable the internet, which will also make it was easier for citizens to organize and overthrow the regieme.
