Indefinite Internet Restrictions Amid Security Concerns
An official within the Iranian Parliament's Industries and Mines Committee, Mostafa Pordehghan, has stated that there is currently no defined timeline for lifting the ongoing internet restrictions in Iran. The announcement comes as the country enters its 57th consecutive day of widespread service disruptions.
Speaking to the ISNA news agency, Pordehghan addressed the controversial tiered internet policy, a system that grants different levels of access and connection speeds based on the user. While he expressed skepticism regarding the long-term application of this policy, he maintained that current connectivity decisions are dictated strictly by national security considerations.
The state of connectivity in Iran remains a major point of tension, particularly as international monitors like NetBlocks report that the current disruption has exceeded eight weeks. This marks one of the most prolonged periods of restricted digital access in the nation's history, significantly impacting both local communication and economic activity.
As these restrictions persist, observers continue to monitor the intersection of digital governance and broader geopolitical tensions involving the region. For ongoing developments regarding regional military and political escalations, you can follow Iran Us War Live updates
