Iran Restores Internet Connectivity After Strikes
- On June 25, 2025, Iran began partially restoring internet access after a roughly 62-hour government-imposed blackout amid its 12-day war with Israel.

- The partial restoration indicates a stabilizing post-conflict environment, but connectivity stays below normal and WhatsApp remains blocked, accessible only via VPNs widely used by Iranians.
