Iranian state media said President Masoud Pezeshkian ordered international internet access restored, ending a blackout that had cut most users off from the global web for nearly 90 days.
The shutdown followed the war with the U.S. and Israel, and the Communications Ministry confirmed the order, though it did not say when or how full reconnection would begin.
NetBlocks had put the outage at 87 days, with only costly VPNs giving some Iranians limited access during the disruption.
The move comes as the wider regional conflict persists, with Israel intensifying strikes in Lebanon and issuing new evacuation orders in the south.
