Perhaps there are more sources with more detailed/sourced info.

Thought this was relevant.

I wonder whether they plan / the idea would be to completely detach from
any foreign communications, save for some 'approved' nodes for banks and
such.

I suppose if the Dark net plan were more mature at this point, it would be
possible to theorize the creation of a mediating cluster of nodes connected
to the internet via wifi-darknet / whatnot, that would rebroadcast to the
local darknet via wifi etc.

But holy damn. (I suppose the Iranian plan is premature etc., but still.)
