Iran’s internet returns, but under tight, selective control
TL;DR
Iran’s three-week internet blackout is easing only in fits and starts, with some mobile access returning but major platforms still restricted and services being carefully managed. Analysts say authorities may be testing a tiered system that limits who can connect and when, potentially preventing a full restoration. Rights groups warn that the crackdown has cost thousands of lives, with HRANA confirming 5,925 deaths so far and many more under review.
