🎭 Iran Claims US Exploited Vendor Backdoors to Disable Network Equipment Iranian state media reports networking hardware from Cisco, Juniper, Fortinet, and MikroTik experienced simultaneous reboots during recent strikes. Tehran alleges pre-positioned firmware backdoors or satellite-triggered exploits enabled US forces to disable critical infrastructure, according to reporting noting the regime cannot explain outages while disconnected from global networks.

NetBlocks confirms Iran's 52-day internet blackout continues, though selective access through "Internet Pro" services suggests layered control rather than total shutdown. 🛰️ Open sources - closed narratives @sitreports
