For nearly three months, people in Iran have had no access to the global internet. The blackout was imposed for security reasons following a US attack, according to official statements. Now, Masoud Pezeshkian has announced that the censorship will be lifted soon.

The announcement comes amid tense relations between Tehran and Washington. Pezeshkian, considered a moderate, had promised to ease internet restrictions during his election campaign. A precise timeline for restoring access has not yet been released.
