Internet returns to Iran; a seaside town that witnessed the war
About this episode
The episode discusses the return of internet access in Iran after a prolonged blackout and the impact of the Iran war on a seaside town in Sri Lanka.
People in Iran are back online after a government-imposed digital blackout that lasted nearly three months. We hear from Iranians that reconnecting has been bittersweet. And a deadly strike during the first days of the Iran war hit far away in the Indian Ocean off the coast of Sri Lanka, jolting a quiet seaside town and showing just how far the conflict’s reach extends.
