Iranian official calls for tight internet curbs in wartime

All foreign internet access should be tightly restricted for several months as the war with Israel continues, Hardline Iranian official Mohammad-Javad Larijani said Thursday.

“We must abandon open-internet posturing,” said the head of the Institute for Research in Fundamental Sciences.

While domestic connectivity and business access should be facilitated, Iran’s national intranet must impose “complete control, limitations, and oversight” over international links, he added.
