- Iran starts restoring web access after monthslong blackout
Iran is restoring internet access after a nearly three-month blackout imposed following the US and Iran strikes in late February. The restrictions severely impacted the economy, forcing tech companies to close and online merchants to struggle, while some politicians and business figures retained access. Experts warn that censorship will remain heavy, with Iran reportedly using Chinese hardware to enhance its control.
