Iran's judiciary suspended the activities of a
presidential-backed body that had authorized measures to gradually restore
internet access after months of severe digital restrictions and a near-total
connectivity blackout.
The decision highlights internal divisions within the
Iranian government regarding control of the digital sphere and information
management in a context marked by political and security tensions.
The body had been created to coordinate efforts to
reorganize the communications system and restore access to international
platforms and services. However, shortly after announcing progress in restoring
connectivity, the judiciary ordered its operations to cease.
In recent months, Iran has maintained severe limitations on
internet use as part of government measures to control the flow of information
and contain the dissemination of content related to protests and internal
conflicts. These restrictions affected social media, messaging platforms, and
various digital services used by millions of citizens. The prolonged blockade
also generated significant economic impacts, especially for businesses,
entrepreneurs, and workers who rely on digital tools to operate or maintain
communication with clients and suppliers outside the country.
Although some regions have begun to see signs of a partial
reopening of the service, access remains limited and under strict state
supervision. The suspension of the presidential agency leaves the future of
measures aimed at normalizing connectivity in Iran uncertain.
