Iran internet shutdown triggers massive job losses

Iranian officials report that nationwide internet shutdowns have crippled the country's digital economy. More than 1 million jobs have been lost directly or indirectly, affecting workers across sectors. Small and medium-sized enterprises that rely on online platforms have seen their revenues vanish, leading to widespread business closures. The economic fallout is expected to deepen as the shutdown continues, further straining Iran's already fragile economy. The government has not indicated when connectivity might be restored.
