Iranian Presidency Orders Reopening of International Internet Access After Nearly 90-Day Blackout

In a huge development, Iran has reportedly lifted its nationwide internet ban, which suggests a deal with the US could actually be close – after much premature reporting and back and forth. Per Reuters:

Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian ​has issued an order to reopen international internet ‌access, Iranian state media reported on Monday, citing an official after a near-90-day blackout in the wake of the ​war against U.S. and Israel.

The report cited the ​head of public relations at Iran’s Communications ⁠Ministry.

But strange war-like things are still happening – though little is confirmed:

Some latest on talks:

Iranian Chairman of the National Security Committee of the Parliament says until the Americans take 5 confidence-building measures, there is no meaning in the so-called understanding with the US, Irib News reports
Measures include:

• Ending the war on all fronts, especially Lebanon.
• Lifting the US blockade and piracy.
• Transit of civilian ships through the Strait of Hormuz with Iranian arrangements
• Suspension of oil sanctions for 30 or 60 days
• Releasing Iran’s frozen funds

Adds, even if an agreement is reached, it will not mean the end of its challenge with America.

Israel Ramps up Bombing of Lebanon

Israel has drastically ramped up its military campaign across Lebanon, hitting many dozens of ‘Hezbollah sites’ – and seriously escalating the long-running conflict, despite there officially being a US-mediated ceasefire in place.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has confirmed on Monday that instructed the military to “press the pedal even harder” against Hezbollah, reportedly upon a greenlight being given by Washington, following increased drone attacks from the Shia paramilitary group backed by Iran on northern Israel. Over 70 sites have been struck on Monday. Source: ZEROHEDGE
