Is Gemini blocked in Iran?
Yes — Gemini is effectively unavailable in Iran: Google does not serve Iran (vendor geo-restriction), on top of network filtering. The domain may still respond at a CDN edge — Voidly measures 45% raw network reachability — but that is not the same as the service working.
The situation
Iran filters many Google properties, and Gemini’s regional availability is limited. Reachability is frequently partial.
How to read this verdict
A "partial" verdict means inconsistent measured reachability — sometimes loads, often fails — typical of throttling layered on top of provider limits.
Voidly measures network reachability only — whether the service loads from inside the country. That is distinct from a provider declining sign-ups in a region (a policy layer we do not conflate with network blocking).
What people do about it
- Circumvention tooling to a supported region.
- Reachability tends to drop during filtering escalations.
