Of course that is silly - so obviously that is not what is being shown.
The problem is that Internettrafficreport does not explain what they display in a clear manner allowing all kinds of speculations.

So router1.iust.ac.ir is off the net. Fortunetly not all of Iran goes through router1 - not even enough of the traffic to make a noticeable difference in loading pages from Iranian newspapers.

I know that these figures can be somewhat misleading, a Connection I was responsible for had a graphical reporting tool that was showing that my site was down for about a year and a half, till we could persuade our suppliers that we were no longer connected through a microwave link, but instead running through a fibre connection. Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
Let me repeat, Iran is not disconnected from the Internet! We have gotten a few queries about why we did not highlight Iran in our review of the network outages that resulted from the cable breaks. (See here, here and here.) Like most countries in the region, the outages in Iran were very significant, but for the most part they did not exceed 20% of their total number of networks. Now 20% is a significant loss, but in the context of an event where countries lost almost all of their connectivity, such a loss did not place Iran into the top 10 of impacted countries. So we focused most of our attention where the losses where the highest.
