China & WorldIran Ends 88-Day Internet Blackout as Citizens Regain Partial Access
Iran ended an 88-day nationwide internet blackout after President Pezeshkian ordered restoration, though access remains slow and restricted.
Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian ordered the restoration of nationwide internet services on May 25. This internet blackout lasted 88 days total, making it one of the longest nationwide blackouts in modern history. Internet monitoring organization NetBlocks shows that on May 26, Iran's internet traffic has only recovered to 40 percent of normal levels. Many users reported very slow internet speeds, with platforms like YouTube and Instagram still blocked. This blackout began on February 28, with authorities not explaining the reason at the time. Some analysts worry that after each blackout ends, Iran's internet control often becomes even stricter.
