National Information Network (NIN) (Persian: شبکۀ ملی اطلاعات, Shabake-ye Melli-ye Ettelā'āt) also known as National Internet in Iran and Iranian intranet is an ongoing project to develop a secure, stable infrastructure network and national intranet in Iran.

The Supreme Council of Cyberspace of Iran defines National Information Network as "a Network based on the Internet Protocol with switches and routers and data centers which allows for data requests to avoid being routed outside of the country and provides secure and private intranet networks."[6]

The idea of a national intranet was developed in Ministry of Information and Communication Technology in 2005 and project was started in 2013.[7][8][9]

Based on Fifth Economic Development Plan of Iran, The National Information Network with a bandwidth currently standing at 4,000 gigabytes per second, will allow access to e-government services, digital services inside the country, affordable access to high-speed communications, as well as access to domestic content and services across the country.[10] The project consists of three phases and will include formation of an economy of datacenters, as well as increase of the quality of infrastructure services for businesses.[10]

Iranian government has allocated about $200 million for development of the NIN infrastructures alongside NIN e-content.[11] Iranian president Hassan Rouhani signed an engineering program in September 2020.[12] According to the Iranian government, one of NIN main missions is breaking the monopoly of Internet.[13]

Cisco Systems routers and switches were deprecated because of the program.[14] It has full independence.[15] All IoT chains must be identifiable for National Security purposes.[16]

The National Information Network's two main parts are:

  • Public part for delivering NIN services to public and business users
  • Private part for delivering NIN services to governmental users.

IR-NIN applications & services include:

Private GSB

  • Government-cloud services provide e-government technical requirements
  • IR-GSB (Government Service Bus Services) to exchange information (PAK, DNS, Neuronta - Noronta- MLPS)[17]

Public part

  • Cloud computing services for general and commercial purpose
  • Public services such as e-mail and search engine[18]

Through their phone numbers and social ID number, everyone is identified before getting access to Internet.[19]

Iranian government fully employed the NIN between 15 and 27 November 2019,[20] which is part of the 2019 Internet blackout in Iran.

Corporations are required to use only Iranian data centers and register their IP address.[21]

NIN can be used similar to the Great Firewall.[22]

In 2019, Mohammad Ali Movahedi Kermani in Tehran Friday prayer declared that Telegram is haram and requested National Information Network deployment like the Great Firewall of China.[23]
