Iran Internet Service Disruption Follows Water Riots

Mobile phone internet service in Iran is being disrupted a week into deadly protests in the country’s southwest over water shortages, a monitoring group has said. Internet-access advocacy group NetBlocks.org attributed part of the disruption to “state information controls or targeted internet shutdowns.” It identified the outages as beginning July 15, when the protests began in Khuzestan amid a drought affecting the oil-rich region neighboring Iraq.
