Iran online businesses report sales plunge amid internet curbs

The head of Iran’s online businesses association said on Sunday that internet policy had no clear authority, leaving the digital economy unsure which body to negotiate with.

Reza Olfatnasab said some online businesses had seen sales drop by 40% to 50%, while others had sales near zero.

He also cited layoffs of up to 60% and dissatisfaction among businesses over tiered internet access.
