Iran has ordered steps to restore access to the global internet after earlier restrictions limited users’ ability to reach international websites and online services.
Masoud Pezeshkian has instructed officials to reopen international internet access, according to state media reports. The move signals a possible easing of digital restrictions that had been tightened in recent weeks.
The limits on internet access were introduced during periods of unrest and security concerns, with authorities aiming to control information flow and maintain stability. However, the restrictions also disrupted everyday activities, affecting communication, business operations and access to global platforms.
Internet access in Iran is often managed in layers, with domestic networks continuing to function while international connectivity is adjusted depending on the situation. The latest order suggests a gradual shift towards restoring normal access for users.
State media said the decision is aimed at reducing disruptions and improving communication for citizens and businesses. However, officials have not provided a clear timeline for when full international access will be restored.
It is also unclear whether all restrictions will be lifted completely or if certain controls will remain in place. Technical and administrative steps are still expected before services return fully to normal.
The issue of internet access has long been a sensitive topic in Iran, with public demand for open connectivity often contrasting with government concerns over security and information control.
The latest move is being seen as a sign of easing pressure on digital access, though the extent of restoration will depend on how the policy is implemented in the coming days.
