Title: International Fiber Cuts Disrupt Internet Services Across Multiple Nations, Including Iran
Subheading: Infrastructure Official Provides Update on Widespread Connectivity Issue
A significant internet disruption affecting Iran and several other countries has been attributed to dual fiber optic cable cuts in Eastern Europe, according to a statement from a senior Iranian infrastructure official.
The issue, which impacted connectivity for users, was caused by damage to two separate international lines in Bulgaria and Romania. This type of damage to critical infrastructure can occur due to a variety of factors, including accidental damage during construction or natural geological shifts.
Behzad Akbari, the CEO of the Communications Infrastructure Company, provided the update via a post on a social media platform. He confirmed that the incident had a wide-reaching effect, disrupting internet services not only in Iran but also in Turkey, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Bulgaria, Greece, and a number of other nations.
In his statement, Akbari expressed hope that the disruption would be resolved promptly, underscoring the ongoing efforts by international service providers to restore full connectivity. The incident highlights the interconnected nature of global digital infrastructure, where a technical fault in one region can have a cascading effect across multiple countries. Services are expected to return to normal as repair work on the damaged lines is completed.
