Iran reconnects after 88-day shutdown

The government is letting people connect with the world after a near-total internet shutdown. But not everyone has access, and those who do wonder how long it will last.

1. Frame 1Iran's government opens internet access for residents after an 88-day shutdown, while filters and slow service still shape what people can reach.
2. Frame 2NetBlocks says connectivity is about 86% of pre-shutdown capacity; Kentik says actual traffic is closer to 40%.
3. Frame 3Messaging and TV streams return unevenly, so families, students, and online workers see service come back city by city.
4. Frame 4Authorities imposed the cutoff after U.S. and Israeli attacks, then eased access as negotiators moved toward a more permanent truce.
5. Frame 5Online careers and small businesses already lost income during one of the world's longest national shutdowns.
6. Frame 6The next pressure point is whether Tehran keeps access open while truce talks continue and users test the new limits.
