Iran's months-long internet blackout, imposed after the start of the war with the US and Israel in February, has ended, restoring access to the outside world for most Iranians.

Iran's nationwide internet blackout has surpassed 59 days, marking the longest recorded internet shutdown globally, according to monitoring service NetBlocks.

Iran's internet connectivity has been severed for 56 days, marking the longest nationwide blackout ever recorded globally with over 1,320 hours of disconnection. The blackout coincides with the aftermath of US-Israel operations launched February 28, which killed 3,375 Iranians over 40 days. Despite Trump's April 21 announcement extending the ceasefire, Tehran has rejected the unilateral extension and prioritizes its own interests.
