After 88 days of near-total darkness, Iran’s internet connection has been partially restored. But experts are urging caution — this isn’t a happy ending, it’s a pause.
Internet monitoring groups say the restoration is incomplete and fragile. Mahsa Alimardani from WITNESS told TechRadar that a cutoff “will happen again,” pointing to the Iranian government’s willingness to pull the plug whenever it suits them. For millions of Iranians who went nearly three months without reliable connectivity, the partial return of service is a relief — but it’s a conditional one.
The bigger question is what comes next. Infrastructure damage, ongoing censorship tools, and the political calculus behind the shutdown all suggest this story is far from over.
