Iran’s Supreme Council of Cyberspace has agreed to lift access restrictions on popular foreign platforms, including WhatsApp and Google Play. The decision was made during a meeting attended by government heads, ministers, and council members, who revisited policies on internet blockades.

The council approved adjustments to existing restrictions after considering various perspectives. However, the session emphasized the need for regulated governance in cyberspace and support for domestic platforms. Minister of Information and Communications Technology, Sattar Hashemi, welcomed the move, stating that it marked the first step towards lifting internet restrictions with unity and collaboration.

The decision aligns with President Masoud Pezeshkian’s presidential campaign promise to lift internet restrictions.
