Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has instructed the Ministry of Communications of the Islamic Republic to restore access to the international internet in the country, Fars and Tasnim agencies reported.

The head of the Iranian government's apparatus, Ali Ahmadnia, confirmed this, noting that all cabinet members voted for the restoration of internet at the May 25 meeting. According to ISNA, Pezeshkian's decree will be implemented within the next 24 hours.

According to data from the NetBlocks monitoring project, as of May 25, internet was unavailable in Iran for 87 days. This is the longest nationwide internet shutdown in any country in the history of observations, the project noted.

Access to the global network in Iran disappeared on the first day of the war with the US and Israel, which began on February 28. However, even before the military actions, the internet was shut down in the country. The reason for this was mass protests due to the deteriorating economic situation.
