Iran Spokesperson: Internet Restoration Depends on Security Agencies
Fatemeh Mohaghegh, serving as the government spokesperson for Iran, addressed inquiries regarding the restoration of international internet connectivity, specifically concerning access to the Iran Human Rights Monitor website. In her statement, she clarified that the decision to restore full international internet access is not within her immediate purview but is instead contingent upon the final review and approval of relevant authorities and security agencies. This response highlights the centralized control exerted by state security apparatuses over digital infrastructure and information flow within the country. Notably, the spokesperson failed to provide any specific timeline or estimated date for when the ongoing internet outage might be resolved, leaving citizens and international observers without clarity on the duration of the disruption. The statement underscores the intersection of national security protocols and digital rights, indicating that internet accessibility is treated as a matter of state security rather than a public utility service with guaranteed uptime. This lack of transparency regarding the outage's end date continues to fuel uncertainty and concern among users affected by the restricted connectivity.
