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. Global internet access began to resume on Tuesday, ending an 88-day shutdown that started after US and Israeli attacks. 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.
