Raw reachability score
A responding domain or CDN edge does not prove signup, API access, model inference or availability for every user.
- Source evidence count
- 179
- Reported method(s)
- No methods supplied
- Provider restriction flag
- true
Vendor geo-restriction: the provider does not serve this country, so the service is unavailable. A CDN edge may still be network-reachable (see network_reachability_score) — that is not the same as the service working.

Confidence, original provider reference and raw fields
Source confidence: 1. The implementation derives this heuristic from record count and stored evidence confidence. It is not a calibrated probability of censorship, and it is never calculated as 1 minus reachability here.
The original site's undated provider list flags Anthropic in Iran. That list has no per-entry date or policy citation. It does not override this source read or establish current account eligibility. Check the provider’s current product information ↗

}Read this result carefully.
A classified network signal describes the retrieved source sample. It is not a guarantee for every ISP, account or app feature. A provider restriction can coexist with a responding domain; a source policy flag does not prove government blocking.
The source combines retained evidence with seven-day probe records. Its response time is not the latest observation date. Unknown, unavailable, zero and partial results remain distinct. Source confidence is a heuristic, not a calibrated probability.
The original context.
The complete, distinct editorial text from this guide is preserved below. It is undated source commentary, not a fresh verification of provider policy, cause, reliability or account eligibility.
The situation
Claude is unavailable in Iran on two grounds: heavy state network filtering, and Anthropic not serving Iran (vendor geo-restriction / US sanctions). Both make it unavailable.
How the original guide reads a verdict
A CDN edge may answer from inside Iran, so raw reachability can be non-zero — but that is not Claude working. Anthropic does not serve Iran, so the honest verdict is unavailable; the raw number is shown only for transparency.
The source may overlay a vendor policy onto its status. A low domain score or a method label alone does not prove the cause claimed in historical commentary. Use the explicit source fields above.
Alternatives described in the original guide
- Circumvention tooling to a supported region.
- Account/eligibility limits can persist independent of the network.
These are preserved descriptions, not new guarantees of reliable access. Network reachability does not remove provider eligibility or account restrictions.
