Iran Lifts Restrictions, Ending Longest Internet Blackout

After 50 days of nationwide internet outages, Iran has eased some restrictions, allowing limited online access. Analysts examine the impact and implications.
Iran has taken steps to ease internet restrictions, marking the end of the country's longest-ever nationwide blackout. The move comes more than 50 days after protests erupted over the death of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old woman who died in police custody.
Authorities had severely limited internet access across Iran in a bid to suppress the widespread demonstrations. However, internet monitoring groups report that connectivity has now been partially restored in major cities, though social media platforms remain blocked.
