Iran president orders internet restored after war suspension

TEHERAN: Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has ordered the restoration of international internet access in Iran, which had been suspended since the US and Israel launched attacks against the country, local media reported Monday.

“The decree aimed at restoring internet access to its pre-Jan 2026 state was communicated to the Ministry of Communications by the president,” Iranian news agencies Tasnim and Fars reported.

Authorities shut down the internet during large-scale anti-government protests that peaked in early January, then suspended it again on Feb 28 at the start of the Middle East war.

Since then, the population has only had access to domestic platforms and websites.
