PARIS: Iranian authorities partially restored inte­rnet connectivity on Tuesday after an almost three-month shutdown imp­osed after the US-Israel invasion on Feb 28.

The shutdown left Iran­ians largely cut off from international networks, with only a domestic intranet working for daily tasks like shopping, ride-hailing and education.

“Live metrics show a partial restoration to internet connectivity in Iran on day 88,” of the shutdown, monitor NetBlocks said on X, saying it was “unclear” if this meant a permanent end to the “longest nationwide internet shutdown in modern history”.

Earlier during the day, Iran’s judiciary suspended a fledging presidential body that had ordered restoration of the internet.
