Iran government says internet restrictions to be lifted gradually

Iran’s government policy is to open access to the global internet and move gradually toward lifting online restrictions, Elyas Hazrati, head of the government’s Information Council, said.

“The enemy’s strategy was Iran’s unconditional surrender, but the Iranian people showed they are willing to negotiate, but they will not surrender,” Hazrati said.

He added that after the war, the government should take a broader approach and make room for all Iranians to participate in running the country.
