The president of Iran has ordered the restoration of internet access following a multi-month blackout that began at the onset of the war in the Middle East.
The suspension of connectivity had been in place for three months, according to reporting from France 24. The Times of Israel specified that the outage lasted for 13 weeks, totaling more than 2,000 hours of disconnected service.
