Apparently there have been IRGC and basij curfew patrols shooting at buildings / windows of people who sing or shout anti regime songs and slogans.
Apparently they are also (at least in some cases) dressing as women to avoid airstrikes.
There has been very little photage and info coming out of Iran though.
I still believe the Iranian government is more afraid of it's people than of the US and Israel - the US and Israel can bomb leadership and materiel, but without ground troops, regime capitulation is unlikely, unless the populace can themselves overthrow the govt (though that is hard to do when there is a major imbalance in who has guns).
Iran has been rolling out the National Information Network (essentially a whitelisted internet) for a couple years now after the Green Revolution [0].
Iran has a surprisingly robust domestic ecosystem of hyperscalers [1] and telco infra [6][7] built out over the past decade with limited outside involvement and a severe sanctions regime, and have even started exporting Iranian IT services to Uganda [2], Kenya [3], South Africa [4], Venezuela [5], Russia [8], and China [8].
Iran also uses a two-tier SIM card system - ideologically vetted individuals get a "white" SIM which gives full ingress/egress outside the NIN and others have a normal SIM that can be blacklisted from egressing outside the NIN.
Notice how Iranian websites have a page saying "Transferring to Website" - that's the gateway page for the NIN.
and during that time those people waging war against Iran, murdered one Irainian child every 30 minuits, not counting the other children murdered by the genociders in Lebanon, Syria, and Palestine.
predictable down vote
but listen up, Iran has made a tactical move in this, but the implication is that
they, like Afganistan are consideriing a strategic move, and many others are watching.
more down voting, which is an excellent demonstration of how the internet is used
by those that "own" it
Everyone with some functioning brain cell knows American terrorists pedophiles are using starlink, Internet to destroy Iran as functioning country just like what they did to Syria.There is nothing wrong in their Internet blockage and outages.

Noteworthy: It’s not that no one in Iran has no access. Actually some have internet access via “white SIM cards” (1). Reportedly 50,000 or so.
Essentially, they’ve created a two-tier system controlling who can access the internet.

Bombing civilian infrastructure didn't turn the Internet back on? I don't believe that.
Apparently America and Israel want the best for Iranians that they bombed a girls school on day one, and have caused thousands of civilian casualties.
Next in line are power plants, water facilities and more. This supposedly improves the average Iranians life quality.
Anything for Greater Israel.
That’s unbroken 6 weeks of no direct access for almost everyone
Of course information does still get in and out, but that is severely throttled
Is Iranian infra centralized on the similar fashion like in Belarus?
It's way more centralized.
