Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian ​has issued an order to reopen international internet access in his country.

Most Iranians haven't been able to access the worldwide web for nearly 90 days, according to Reuters. Iranian authorities enacted the blackout in January to impede communications during nationwide protests against the government. 

Connections were reinstated in February, but were again reimposed at the start of U.S. and Israeli strikes against Iran at the end of February. 

Even when the Iranian regime allows its citizens access to the international internet, speeds are heavily restricted and the government censors many websites.
