The Iranian regime has essentially shut down the internet within the country, as recent events do not show their defence capabilities in a good light and they do not wish their citizens to share information.

Locking down the internet to suppress protests, or to suppress news, is not what is happening. Indeed the more damage that is shown the more patriotic Iranians become.
