Loading ...Iran’s 90-Day Internet Blackout Ends As NetBlocks Confirms Partial Restoration
Internet monitoring firm NetBlocks has confirmed our Monday report that, after 88 days of “near-total isolation” from the global internet, Iran has seen a “partial restoration to internet connectivity.”
We cited Reuters, which said that Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian issued an order to reopen international internet access after a three-month blackout. However, we added a caveat to readers that this still needed confirmation.
In our view, a partial internet restoration suggests that Tehran may be trying to project a return to normalcy as U.S.-Iran talks continue. It is certainly a positive diplomatic indicator.
