The Iranian judiciary has officially suspended a special presidential task force that was recently established to address the country’s ongoing internet blackout. This regulatory body, known as the Special Headquarters for Organising and Governing the Country's Cyberspace, was formed by President Masoud Pezeshkian just weeks ago. Although the task force had publicly announced plans on Monday to restore nationwide connectivity following months of near-total restrictions, the judiciary intervened to halt the order, citing unspecified legal complaints filed against the committee.

This development prolongs one of the most severe digital isolation periods in modern history, as internet access in Iran has remained largely cut off since the onset of the conflict with the US and Israel in late February. While the government had recently experimented with a "Pro Internet" tier—which provided restricted, paid access to specific professional groups—the majority of citizens remain confined to the domestic intranet. With this latest judicial move, the push for broader digital freedom faces a significant setback, leaving the nation in a state of extended online censorship.
