Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian<\/a> has issued an order to reopen international internet access, Iranian state media reported on Monday, citing an official after a near-90-day blackout in the wake of the war against the US and Israel.<\/p>\n

The report cited the head of public relations at Iran<\/a>\u2019s Communications Ministry.<\/p>\n

The mechanism for how and when Iran would reconnect to the global web following the decision was unknown.<\/p>\n

Most Iranians<\/a> have been unable to access the World Wide Web for 87 days, according to the Internet Observatory NetBlocks on Monday, with only a few citizens having access to expensive, advanced VPNs that circumvent the restrictions.<\/p>\n

Authorities initially imposed an internet blackout<\/a> from January 8 in response to nationwide anti-government protests, with connections gradually getting back to normal in February, before a new blackout was initiated following the start of US and Israeli strikes against Iran on February 28.<\/p>\n

In normal times, access to the global internet remains heavily restricted through censorship of many websites, while authorities are increasingly relying on an intranet to provide connected services without the World Wide Web, notably for schools, which are currently following an online curriculum.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian has issued an order to reopen international internet access, Iranian state media reported on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":459578,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,123,87,29157,47,43,157282,157283,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-459577","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-internet","tag-iran","tag-masoud-pezeshkian","tag-middle-east","tag-news","tag-operation-epic-fury","tag-operation-roaring-lion","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/459577","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=459577"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/459577\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/459578"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=459577"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=459577"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=459577"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
