Iran cuts off internet and international phone access in response to a massive cyber attack from Israel. The government calls this measure an emergency action for national security.
NetBlocks reported that internet traffic has dropped by more than 90%. The Iranian government also warned citizens to delete WhatsApp, although Meta denied the allegations of espionage.
This extreme measure indicates an escalation of the conflict that has now extended into the digital realm where war is no longer just through missiles, but also through networks and data.
