Israeli newspaper fears Iran's imposition of sovereignty over undersea internet cables in the Strait of Hormuz The Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper reported: Iran has announced that large technology companies must comply with the country's laws and pay usage fees. Cable laying companies will also have to pay a fee to cross the strait, and the rights to repair and maintain these cables will be exclusively assigned to Iran. Otherwise, Tehran has threatened to target undersea cables in the Strait of Hormuz, an action that could disrupt the internet on entire continents and lead to a "digital disaster." Damage to these cables could affect not only internet speeds, but also the global banking system, military communications, AI cloud infrastructure, remote working, gaming, and online streaming services around the world. According to researchers, Iran's small submarines and underwater drones could damage these cables. Get the latest news: Site | Ita | Yes | Rubika | Soroush Plus @snntv

Netblocks, an organization that monitors the state of the Internet in the world, announced on Wednesday, May 20, that the 82nd day of the digital Internet shutdown in Iran has passed, and after 1944 hours, the country remains largely isolated from the global Internet. The organization added that in a situation where a few minutes of internet outage can be a crisis, the continuation of this situation in Iran has led to "the destruction of livelihoods and the erosion of citizens' rights."

It's now the 82nd day of #Iran's digital blackout, with the country still largely cut off from the global internet after 1944 hours. • • In an era when a disconnection lasting minutes would be a crisis, Iran continues to shatter records, destroying livelihoods and eroding rights.

Balanced reopening of the stock market after the Ramadan war; why did the index turn green? The capital market ended its work positively on its first day in 1405; experts believe that the measures taken to control volatility have led to a balanced reopening of the market after the Ramadan war. After a break of about 80 days, stock market trading resumed and a significant portion of corporate stocks reopened; most of the reopened stocks were from small and medium-sized companies, and some large companies with high market capitalization also reopened yesterday. Capital market expert in conversation with Mizan: The measures taken to control market fluctuations were successful. Resources injected into capital market development and stabilization funds, loans to retail shareholders, and the design of compatriot bonds as insurance tools were among the factors that prevented the index from falling sharply. The combination of intra-market measures resulted in a balanced and smooth market reopening. Also, the assignment of call and put options transactions could lead to greater clarity of direction next week. More details Mean on social networks @mizanplus

"The simultaneous crises of gasoline, electricity, inflation, unemployment, internet outages, water and gas shortages, and the consequences of the war have confronted the Islamic Republic with a series of simultaneous pressures," said Morad Veysi, senior analyst at Iran International. "The most important crisis for the government is the risk of a renewed popular uprising, which has turned the sum of these problems into a supercrisis of survival for the government and called its resilience into question."
"If the war resumes and the US and Israel attack refineries in retaliation for the Islamic Republic's attacks, the gasoline shortage crisis will lead to a gasoline super-crisis and the collapse of the gasoline production and supply network," said Murad Veisi, senior analyst at Iran International.

Rasoul Jalili, member of the Supreme Cyberspace Council: "A return to pre-war cyberspace conditions could repeat recent events." He also cited the "betrayal of some politicians" as the reason why these platforms were not completely shut down in the past 10 to 15 years.

What is this event about?
On February 28, 2026, a nationwide internet blackout began in Iran amid military engagement with the United States and Israel.
This market will resolve to “Yes” if internet access in Iran is restored by the specified date, 11:59 PM UTC. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No.”
For purposes of this market, internet access will be considered restored only if either of the following conditions is satisfied.
1. Internet access will be considered restored if there is a clear, broad, and unambiguous consensus of credible international reporting stating that general internet connectivity has been restored for a majority of people in Iran and across most common applications, and that such connectivity has been sustained for at least 24 consecutive hours. Reporting describing planned restorations, gradual easing, partial reconnection, access limited to specific regions, networks, user groups, or applications, or access restricted to filtered, throttled, or government-controlled networks will not qualify. The reporting must explicitly indicate that normal international internet access has materially resumed.
2. Alternatively, internet access will be considered restored only if both of the following requirements are met.
- According to Cloudflare Radar data for Iran, total bytes transferred must recover to at least 50% of the maximum recorded value for six consecutive hourly data points in the Traffic trends → Bytes transferred (Total bytes) chart for the last 4 weeks. The relevant figures for each hourly data point are listed in this chart as “__% of Max”. Only the first of the six consecutive qualifying hourly data points must occur before the market’s resolution time. If necessary to confirm the full sequence, the market will remain open until all qualifying data points are observed.
- In addition, NetBlocks must report that the Iranian national internet outage has been resolved, or must publish a clearly equivalent statement indicating that internet access has been restored for the majority of people and across applications. Reports describing only limited, partial, or localized connectivity; connectivity restricted to filtered or government-controlled networks; traffic increases that NetBlocks characterizes as attempts to generate a false or misleading narrative of restored connectivity, or similar reports, will not qualify, even if the Cloudflare threshold is met.
The primary resolution sources for this market will be Cloudflare Radar (https://radar.cloudflare.com/traffic/ir?dateRange=28d) data for Iran and public reporting from NetBlocks (https://netblocks.org/); however, a consensus of credible international reporting meeting the standards described above may also be used.
