Iran Prepares to Restore Internet Access After Long Blackout

Iran is taking steps to restore internet access following an unprecedented 87-day blackout that has severely affected the country’s economy and public communication. President Masoud Pezeshkian has ordered the reopening of international internet services as state media reports signal a potential easing of restrictions. This blackout, described as the longest in history, has led to significant public outcry and fears of a digital economy collapse. As Tehran moves to lift these restrictions amidst ongoing discussions with the United States, the future of internet access in Iran remains uncertain, with concerns over potential permanent limitations imposed through new technologies. As the Iranian government seeks to balance control and connectivity, many citizens are left navigating life in a digitally restricted environment.
