Tehran: Tens of millions of Iranians were able to access the internet for the first time in nearly three months after authorities moved to end a wartime blackout that had kept most of the country offline and crippled numerous businesses,

According to National News Agency - Lebanon, the restoration of service came after Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian approved a vote by a committee specializing in cyberspace to allow Iranians to return to the internet, despite attempts by some hardliners to overturn the committee's decision.

Iranian Communications Minister Sattar Hashemi said in a statement on the X platform on Wednesday: "The people of Iran deserve free communication, a bright future, and a dynamic economy, and serving this great nation is a way to honor Iran's eternal legacy."
