Iran to restore “full internet access” within 24 hours, official says

Iran is set to restore “full internet access” within the next 24 hours, following an order from President Masoud Pezeshkian, Iran International reports, citing a communications ministry official.

The official said the process of gradually reopening access would begin within minutes.

However, a source claimed that certain international services and messaging applications would be reinstated in stages as part of a phased rollout.

Earlier, internet monitoring group NetBlocks has reported that internet restrictions in Iran have entered their 88th consecutive day, with the blackout exceeding 2,088 hours.

Iran shut down nationwide internet access during the height of the war with the United States and Israel.
