Claim 1: “the process has already started after the Internet connection order was issued by Iran’s Minister of Information and Communication Technologies Sattar Hashemi”
MISLEADING
While evidence confirms that an order was issued to restore internet access and that Sattar Hashemi is indeed the Minister of Information and Communications Technology, the specific evidence provided attributes the order to 'Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian' rather than Minister Sattar Hashemi.
