Internet access that had been largely cut off in Iran has started to come back, BBC reports. Connectivity had been significantly restricted across the country since the war began in late February.
The months-long blackout had deeply affected how Iranians communicate, reach information and carry out daily tasks. The gradual return of access amounts to a concrete relief for households and businesses.
The report says it is not yet clear to what extent or how quickly connectivity will normalise. The stability and reach of access will be watched closely in the period ahead; the information relayed here is based on BBC reporting.
