IRGC-linked outlet backs Pezeshkian move to restore internet access
Iran’s IRGC-linked Fars News Agency has voiced support for President Masoud Pezeshkian’s decision to restore international internet access, describing the move as a necessary “technical and security” step that would have happened “sooner or later” as cyber conditions improved.
The outlet said restrictions had originally been imposed to prevent cyber espionage and protect critical infrastructure during wartime conditions and an unprecedented wave of cyberattacks. (Liars)
Fars also pushed back against criticism over how the decision was made, dismissing accusations that officials bypassed legal procedures or created a “parallel council” outside the Supreme National Security Council.
In unusually direct language, the agency accused some reformist media outlets of trying to exploit the issue for political gain instead of promoting “national unity” during what it described as a “full-scale war.”
