Iran’s judiciary has suspended a presidential body that had ordered the restoration of internet access after months of near-total blackout since the start of the war with the US and Israel, AFP reports.

The judicial decision targeted the “Special Headquarters for Organising and Governing the Country’s Cyberspace”, a body formed on May 12 by President Masoud Pezeshkian.

The body had reached a decision a day earlier to “restore the internet” in Iran, according to government spokeswoman Fatemeh Mohajerani, after local media reported that Pezeshkian had decreed the measure.
