Iran entrepreneurs angered as months-long internet blackout cripples businesses
Iran's months-long internet shutdown, imposed at the start of the Middle East war, has left small businesses in Tehran struggling to pay staff and operate normally.
Mahla, an interior designer in Tehran, says she has been forced to sell her valuables and gold to pay employees as Iran's internet shutdown, imposed at the start of the Middle East war, tanks her business. Other entrepreneurs have expressed anger over the prolonged blackout, saying it has damaged sales and operations and left many struggling to meet payroll.
