A woman uses a cell phone at a cafe in Tehran, Iran, on 26 May. Some internet access has been restored after being cut off since January.

After 88 days of internet blackout, Iranians have logged back online - flooding social media with long-delayed posts, videos and images from the last three months.

The first videos to emerge provide new angles on the widespread anti-government protests that erupted between December 2025 and January this year.

Authorities in Iran initially imposed a partial internet blackout from 8 January in a crackdown on the protests, then intensified the shut down later in February when the war with the United States and Israel began.
