The organization warned that it was still unclear whether the restoration will last. Data from the IT company Cloudflare also showed an increase in web traffic on Tuesday compared to previous weeks. Iranian sources said President Masoud Pezeshkian had on Monday ordered the blockade on international internet connections to be lifted, though no timeline for restoring access was provided. (DPA)
