Yousef Pezeshkian, son and adviser to Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, has publicly urged the government to restore internet access after a two-week nationwide blackout. The shutdown, imposed following violent street protests, has severely disrupted daily life and the economy, with losses estimated at millions of dollars per day. Hospitals in Tehran are overwhelmed with trauma cases, and families are struggling to locate missing relatives due to the lack of connectivity.
