Some online services in Iran, including ride-hailing apps, resumed operations Saturday morning, according to CMG reporter Li Jiannan in Tehran. However, international calls and full internet access remain restricted amid ongoing nationwide protests. 📉
Li reported via satellite phone that internet services had been cut since Thursday evening, with authorities attributing the shutdown to 'large-scale protests' and alleged foreign-backed riots. 🔒 'Supermarkets in Tehran still have stable supplies of essentials like rice and oil,' Li noted, urging calm among residents.
Iranian officials claim protests initially focused on economic issues but accuse the U.S. and Israel of funding agitators to escalate tensions. 🇮🇷⚡️ 'The government is asking people not to fall into this trap,' Li added, citing military statements.
While partial tech services return, the situation remains fluid. Stay tuned for updates as this story develops. 🌐✨
