Trump taking (or making) a call on Monday.
The Iran War has reached yet another confusing potential endgame, maybe, after the U.S. and Iran seemed to get close to an agreement of some kind over the weekend, at least according to President Trump’s Truth Social emanations and unnamed U.S. officials, per various reports. Or, since there was an outbreak of clashes yesterday, maybe the war will start up again, instead. Here’s our attempt to peer through the fog.
BBC News reports:
Internet monitoring groups Netblocks and Kentik reported “partial” restoration around 13:00 GMT, though the latter warned most networks were still down. The Iranian government cut internet access following the launch of US and Israeli attacks on 28 February. Officials suggested the aim was to prevent surveillance, espionage and cyber-attacks. It is one of the longest-running national internet shutdowns ever recorded worldwide. …Netblocks, a global internet monitor, said it was “unclear” whether the internet restoration would be “sustained”.“From past digital blackouts in Iran, we’ve seen that the restoration process can take some hours and isn’t as streamlined as the shutdown procedure,” the group’s research director Isik Mater earlier told BBC Verify, cautioning it had on occasion taken “weeks” to reach some regions. She added: “Historically, each time internet access has been restored after an internet shutdown in Iran it has come back with heavier restrictions and tighter controls.”
