[IR] infrastructure 9.0 — Internet outage: IR — Iran Internet shutdown amid military actions

INCIDENT BRIEF: Iran Internet Shutdown

Iran is experiencing a nationwide internet shutdown as of 18:30 UTC, coinciding with military actions in the region. This represents a complete communications blackout affecting all workforce operations within Iranian borders. Remote work capabilities, VoIP communications, cloud-based productivity tools, and real-time workforce monitoring systems are completely inaccessible. Any distributed teams with Iranian staff members or operations dependent on Iranian infrastructure will face immediate operational paralysis.

Immediate WFM Actions: Activate contingency protocols for Iranian operations immediately. Redistribute critical workloads to backup locations outside Iran. Switch Iranian-based remote workers to offline task assignments where possible. Implement satellite communication channels for emergency coordination with local management. Cancel all client deliverables dependent on Iranian workforce until connectivity restoration. Brief stakeholders on indefinite timeline - military-related shutdowns typically last 24-72 hours minimum. Monitor restoration via third-party network intelligence sources, not local reporting.
