以色列情报机构称，对星链的干扰和大规模拘捕正阻止伊朗民众了解或传播真实情况

以色列官员警告称，伊朗持续的断网行动对战场的影响远超网络空间，不仅限制了外界了解美以空袭造成的损失，还强化了该政权对本国民众的控制。
多名以色列消息人士向福克斯新闻透露，此次断网不仅阻止了信息从伊朗流出，还防止民众在政权压力不断升级之际进行内部组织。据以色列官员称，平民试图通过星链等卫星服务接入互联网的尝试已遭到干扰，而数百名涉嫌使用这类终端的人员已被拘捕。
“这是一场针对真相的断网行动，”一名以色列高级情报官员对福克斯新闻表示。“该政权正在向本国人民隐瞒现实。他们不想让伊朗民众看到自己遭遇了多么惨重的打击。”

这名官员表示，伊朗国内的信息真空正由国家控制的叙事所填补。
“伊朗民众只能看到伊斯兰政权控制的电视台播出的内容，这些电视台虚假宣称美国和以色列已被摧毁，”这位以色列官员说道。
但影响不止于舆论。断网还影响了地面民众的行为。
“这不仅仅关乎民众能看到什么，还关乎他们能做什么，”该官员表示。“切断互联网阻止了人们交流、分享真实情况，以及组织行动。”
此次限制措施出台之际，伊朗政权不仅面临外部军事压力，还在2026年初的残酷镇压后仍存在持续的内部动荡。今年1月，安全部队向全国范围内的抗议活动开火，有报告称短短几天内的死亡人数可能超过3万人。
以色列官员称，在这种背景下，断网反映了该政权对新一轮动荡的恐惧。
“伊朗民众是该政权最惧怕的事物之一，”该官员表示。“这就是为何断网是如此优先的事项。”

据以色列官员称，其结果是一场几乎不为公众所知的战争。
“这是现代史上最不为人所见的战争之一，因为几乎没有视频素材流出，”该官员表示。“当这场断网解除时，政权遭受损失的全部程度才会显现。现在，我们只能瞥见他们遭到重创的冰山一角。”
以色列消息人士还将断网与高价值军事目标直接联系起来。
这位官员称，美国和以色列“已消灭了伊朗情报与安全部的25名高级指挥官”。
“其中大多数是在他们聚集开会的首轮空袭中被消灭的，”该官员补充道，这些被 targeted 的人员参与了断网的管理工作。
这位官员确认伊斯梅尔·哈提卜是遇难者之一，称其为“签署断网命令的情报部长”。

美国分析师表示，信息领域正成为冲突的核心战场。
城市战争研究所执行董事约翰·斯宾塞在X平台上写道：“伊朗多次关闭互联网以控制本国民众。这种能力可以被扭转。”
斯宾塞主张，外部行为体可以通过瞄准政权的通信系统，同时为民用连通性提供支持来扭转局势。
“破坏政权的指挥网络，同时通过外部系统为民众提供连通性。信息将成为武器，”他写道。“对叙事、协调和认知的控制权将从政权手中转移出去。”

他还指出了伊朗国内潜藏的不稳定因素，指出该国人口“超过8500万，年轻、城市化且屡屡不满”，抗议活动表明相当一部分民众反对现政权。
“到目前为止，平民大多被告知要躲进防空洞，”斯宾塞写道。“这种情况可能会改变。”

Iran’s internet blackout hiding strike damage and suppressing dissent, Israeli officials say

Israeli intelligence claims Starlink jamming and mass detentions are preventing Iranians from seeing or sharing what is really happening

Israeli officials are warning that Iran’s ongoing internet blackout is shaping the battlefield in ways that extend far beyond cyberspace, limiting visibility into the impact of U.S. and Israeli strikes while tightening the regime’s grip on its own population.
Multiple Israeli sources told Fox News that the blackout is not only restricting information from leaving Iran but also preventing citizens from organizing internally, at a time when pressure on the regime is mounting. Attempts by civilians to access the internet through satellite services such as Starlink have been disrupted through jamming, according to Israeli officials, while hundreds of individuals suspected of using such terminals have been detained.
“This is a blackout on truth,” a senior Israeli intelligence official told Fox News. “The regime is hiding reality from its own people. They don’t want the Iranian people to see how badly they’re getting hit.”

The information vacuum inside Iran is being filled by state-controlled narratives, according to the official.
“Iranians only know what they see on TV channels controlled by the Islamic regime, which falsely shows the U.S. and Israel being destroyed,” the Israeli official said.
But the impact goes beyond perception. The blackout is also affecting behavior on the ground.
“And it’s not just about what people see, it’s about what they can do,” the official said. “Cutting the internet stops people from communicating, from sharing what’s really happening, and from organizing.”
The restrictions come as the Iranian regime faces both external military pressure and lingering internal unrest following a brutal crackdown earlier in 2026. In January, security forces opened fire on nationwide protests, with reports suggesting the toll could be more than 30,000 killed in a matter of days.
Against that backdrop, Israeli officials say the blackout reflects the regime’s fear of renewed unrest.
“The Iranian people are one of the things the regime fears most,” the official said. “That’s why this blackout was such a priority.”

The result, according to Israeli officials, is a war that is unfolding largely out of public view.
“This is one of the least visible wars in modern history because very little footage is coming out,” the official said. “When this blackout is lifted, the full extent of the damage to the regime will become clear. Right now, we’re only seeing a small glimpse of just how badly they’re being decimated.”
Israeli sources also linked the blackout directly to high-value military targets.
The U.S. and Israel, the official claims, “have taken out 25 senior commanders from the MOIS,” referring to Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence.
“The majority (were) eliminated in the opening strike when they gathered for a meeting,” the official said, adding that those targeted were involved in managing the blackout.
The official identified Esmail Khatib as among those killed, describing him as “the minister of Intelligence who was the guy who signed off on the blackout.”

U.S. analysts say the information domain is becoming a central front in the conflict.
John Spencer, executive director of the Urban Warfare Institute, wrote on X that “Iran has repeatedly shut down internet access to control its population. That capability can be reversed.”
Spencer argued that external actors could shift the balance by targeting regime communications while enabling civilian connectivity.
“Disrupt regime command networks while enabling connectivity for the population through external systems. Information becomes a weapon,” he wrote. “Control of narrative, coordination, and awareness shifts away from the regime.”

He also pointed to underlying instability inside Iran, noting that the country’s population is “over 85 million, young, urban, and repeatedly discontent,” with protest activity suggesting that a significant portion opposes the regime.
“Until now, civilians have largely been told to shelter,” Spencer wrote. “That could change.”
