Iran has shut down internet access for more than 80 million Iranians as conflict between Israel and Iran enters its first week .

Hours after Israel bombed targets in Iran on June 13 , the first reports of self-imposed internet disruptions in Iran emerged.

Iran ’s Ministry of Communication , according to semi-official state news agency Tasnim , said “temporary restrictions” had been imposed due to “special conditions” the country was facing.

Iran has been developing its own internet alternative, an intranet system called the National Information Network , known as the NIN .

The NIN allows “tiers” of internet access and lets the government censor content and push people towards home-grown Iran apps, such as alternatives messaging apps.
