Iran restored much of the nation’s internet access as protests subside, but threatened more arrests in a brutal crackdown that exposes challenges to sanctions-plagued Tehran
Iran restored internet access in large parts of the country after a weeklong shutdown aimed at stifling nationwide protests, but threatened more arrests in a brutal crackdown that exposes the challenges facing a government struggling to cope with harsh U.S. sanctions.
Iran has accused the U.S. and other rivals of fomenting the unrest, as it justified using force that left more than 100 people dead, according to rights groups. Hundreds have been detained as they protested higher fuel prices.
