Iran Restores Limited Internet After Protest Blackout

Iran Restores Limited Internet After Protest Blackout

Iran has slowly started bringing back the internet after a big shutdown that happened during protests.

The protests started because people were upset about money problems and jobs.

The government wanted to stop people from talking to each other during the protests, so they shut down the internet.

The boss of a big phone company, Irancell, was fired because he didn't follow the government's orders to block the internet.

Now, some internet is back, but not all.

There have been a lot of protests, and some people have been hurt or killed.

The government says they will slowly let the internet come back, but it's not clear when it will be fully working again.

Some people even hacked the government's TV to show messages about the protests.
