Yes, he said that. We don't have independent confirmation that this happened, to my knowledge.
Doesn't matter. It is a declaration by the President of the United States, it is confirmation, IPSO FACTO.
Internet traffic across Iran just cratered, down to sub-25% levels according to NetBlocks. Likely a combination of outbound packet filtering, GNSS spoof drift, and uplink kill-switches on backbone routes. Tehran may have initiated a controlled blackout, but given the simultaneity with Trump’s sky-control boast and UK deployment, this looks prepped.
You don’t just jam comms; you isolate nodes, blind fallback lines, and disrupt C2 latency to create conditions for kinetic entry.
If this blackout holds, it suggests either:
a) cyber payloads are actively degrading routers and DNS relays, or
b) something bigger is imminent, missile phase, insertion, or EMP strike, and IRGC wants no signal leakage.
Iran’s grid just went quiet, and that’s never a good sign.

Iran's Ambassador to Russia:
The Iranian people will never forget who stood with us during these times—and who chose to do nothing.
