The 90 million-person nation ends one of the longest internet shutdowns amid ongoing geopolitical tensions and state censorship.
Iran has restored internet access after an 88-day nationwide blackout, ending one of the longest disruptions on record. The shutdown followed escalating conflict with the U.S. and Israel, leaving millions isolated from global networks.
Prior to the blackout, Iran maintained heavy internet filtering and state control over digital communications. The restoration returns users to the same restricted network, offering limited relief amid persistent censorship.
The move comes as geopolitical tensions remain elevated, with potential implications for regional stability and global energy markets.
