I do remember that, and I know they’re capable of it. Was simply curious if anyone was aware of it actually happening 
(yet) this time around.

This is nothing new for even moderate authoritarian states (see: Egypt during the 'arab spring' protests), and should 
be no surprise from a totalitarian state such as Iran.  

We've seen Iran up to no good on a global scale in the past, too, far beyond what's being suggested here:

So we know that they have national censorship in place.  

Are you looking for anything more specific here?

Thought this might be a welcome change from the IPv6 waste discussion and meta-discussion.

Seeing a few references in the news to Iran possibly cutting off Internet (at least on mobile devices) in light of 
significant protests around the country:

Was curious if anyone “in the know” has anything to back it up, etc.
