(a month ago)The data shows that internet activity in Iran has been partially restored, the group for internet monitoring NetBlocks said earlier, as Iranian President Massoud Peschian ordered authorities yesterday to return access to the internet, CNN reports.
Partial online recovery comes on the 88th day of internet deadlocking, NetBlocks said, calling it the longest national Internet in modern history”, reports CNN, broadcast Periscope.
Iran began restricting internet access at the end of December 2025, according to NetBlocks and other monitoring groups, following massive anti-government demonstrations, initially driven by rising inflation, currency collapse and deepening economic crisis.
Following these demonstrations, the Iranian regime made progress towards allowing only a handful of people with security authorization to enter the international internet, experts said, but Iran again entered an almost total internet deadlock following US and Israeli attacks on February 28th.
Mohammad Reza Aref, Iran's first vice president, wrote today on X that, after the announcement of the POSkian yesterday, “was taken the first step towards free access and regulated in cyberspace”.
With the reopening of the internet, intelligent services will be met without obstacles and demands of the people who have been so strongly behind the system and Iran and remove obstacles to knowledge-based development and scientific authority”, he said. /Periscope/
