The renewed approval of the international internet connection by the Supreme National Security Council of the country heralds the return of access to the digital world for millions of Iranian users. This decision was made while the severe disruption and restriction of internet access in recent weeks not only caused interruptions in communication and media services but also dealt serious blows to the economy.
The Process of Internet Return Begins
The Ministry of Communications officially began the process of restoring users' access to the international internet last night. However, this is not the whole story; responsible officials have clearly stated that due to technical and infrastructural complexities, a complete and sustainable return of the internet will require time, and users may face instability and intermittent disruptions in the first hours or days.
According to experts, the stabilization of the internet connection will occur in phases, meaning that the access situation for users in different regions of the country will not be uniform. The Ministry of Communications has also promised that as technical stages are completed, stable access to the international internet will gradually be established.
Now it remains to be seen whether this decision will be a real step towards improving the internet situation in the country or merely another promise in the challenging world of communications in Iran?
