BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 12. The internet
issue and consular services of embassies will hopefully be resolved
in Iran, the Foreign Ministry’s spokesperson, Esmaeil Baghaei, said
at a press conference in Tehran today, Trend reports.
According to him, due to the internet outage in the country, the
provision of consular services has faced problems.
Baghaei noted that the reason for the Internet outage in the
country is security issues. The relevant security agencies of the
country have made decisions in accordance with the
circumstances.
"It's hoped that this issue will be resolved soon as the
situation improves. Due to the internet outage, Iran understands
that the services of embassies are facing problems and is in
contact with all embassies and diplomatic missions in Iran. Work is
underway to find solutions to resolve the problem," he pointed
out.
The protests, which erupted in late December, were primarily
triggered by the sharp depreciation of the national currency,
escalating inflation, and various other economic hardships. While
casualty reports have been circulating, the exact figures remain
undisclosed.
Internet services have been largely suspended for more than
three days now as protests in Iran escalate and become serious.
