Iranians get internet back after three months
Thousands of Iranians lost jobs and faced significant difficulties during the country's record-long internet blackout, one of the longest ever.

President Masoud Pezeshkian advocated for the reopening, which was formally announced following a vote by a special taskforce, though monitoring groups reported only partial restoration.
