The Damages of Internet Shutdowns in Iran: Hundreds of Billions of Tomans per Day
According to a report by the channel خبرفوری ࡆ اخبارفوری مذاקרה ࡆ جنگ فوری, the Iranian economy suffered a severe blow as a result of internet disruptions that lasted about 74 days during the years 1404 and 1405 (according to the Persian calendar). The report, based on data from the 'Iranian Blockchain Association', indicates a daily loss ranging from 300 to 700 thousand billion tomans.
The channel, which is associated with current events news reporting, emphasizes that during 74 days of disruptions, the Iranian economy faced a "crisis that now includes a sharp drop in sales, the closing of startups, and the migration of manpower."
These figures also received resonance in کانال هواداران پرسپولیس ایران, a sports fan channel that deviated from its usual practice of reporting on football events and shared the alarming economic information. The channel cited the precise data on the scale of the damages, while emphasizing the cumulative impact on the technological and entrepreneurial sector in the country.
These estimates paint a grim picture of the digital sector in Iran, where the combination of information blocks and technical disruptions is defined by these sources as a key factor in brain drain and the erosion of the country's future economic infrastructure.
