TEHRAN (MNN); Iran’s judiciary on Tuesday suspended a presidential body that had moved to restore internet access after months of widespread restrictions imposed during the conflict involving the United States and Israel.
According to the judiciary’s official website, the suspension came after complaints were filed against the body, though authorities did not specify who submitted them.
The decision affects the Special Headquarters for Organising and Governing the Country’s Cyberspace, which was established on May 12 by Masoud Pezeshkian.
The body had announced a decision on Monday to restore internet access across the country. Government spokesperson Fatemeh Mohajerani said the move followed a presidential directive aimed at easing restrictions after months of limited connectivity.
Earlier on Tuesday, internet monitoring organisation NetBlocks reported that live network data indicated a partial restoration of internet connectivity in Iran.
Iranian state media had earlier reported that President Masoud Pezeshkian had ordered the reopening of international internet access following a nearly 90-day blackout imposed in the aftermath of the war involving the United States and Israel.
