Iran to Restore Global Internet Access After 87-Day Blackout

Iran’s president has ordered the reopening of international internet access after an 87-day shutdown, state media report. The blackout began on January 8 amid nationwide anti-government protests and was reimposed after U.S. and Israeli strikes on February 28. Only a few Iranians could bypass the restrictions using costly, advanced VPNs, according to NetBlocks. Authorities have meanwhile promoted a domestic intranet for schools and essential services. Exact timing and technical details for reconnecting to the global web remain unclear.
