Iran remains under a near-total internet shutdown, severely limiting access to information.

A group of young Iranians are working non-stop to ensure their voices reach the outside world.

The Iranian government shut down access to the internet during the war with Israel , accusing its adversary of exploiting the network for military purposes.

Local sources said no one had access to internet except correspondents working for vetted foreign media.
