Iran disrupted internet access to the outside world as angry demonstrators rallied over the collapse of a tower in Iran that has killed at least 34 people, experts said on Tuesday.

The disruption has plunged the south-western province into digital isolation, making it difficult for journalists to authenticate events on the ground and for activists to share footage and organise protests.
