Iran began lifting its internet blockade after 88 days, the longest internet blackout in modern history.

Iran’s first vice president, Mohammad Reza Aref, announced in a Tuesday X post that the country would begin reopening the internet in line with a request from Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian. NetBlocks, an internet monitoring group, confirmed the same day that a “partial restoration” was taking place after “2093 hours of near-total isolation from international networks,” making it the longest internet shutdown in history.
