Cloudflare Radar data indicates a partial restoration of internet services in Iran, nearly three months after a shutdown began. Network activity has risen from previous lows but remains at only 40% of pre-shutdown levels, as evidenced by traffic spikes and increased DNS queries. This marks an initial recovery following a sustained internet disruption.
Key Takeaways
- Cloudflare Radar says Iran’s internet is partially restored nearly three months after the shutdown began.
- Network activity is at 40% of pre-shutdown levels, according to Cloudflare Radar data.
- Traffic spikes and increased DNS queries are the main signs of recovery in the latest data.
Why It Matters
The immediate signal is that Iran’s network is no longer at the deepest point of the shutdown, but it remains far below normal at 40% of pre-shutdown activity. For streaming and broader internet services, that means partial access is returning, not full service. Cloudflare Radar is the named source here, and the key competitive cue is the pace of recovery rather than any policy explanation. The next data point to watch is whether traffic and DNS queries move beyond the current 40% level in subsequent Cloudflare Radar updates.
