Iran announced Wednesday heavier internet curbs, accusing Israel of misusing the network for military purposes amid ongoing fighting between the longtime foes.

“Temporary restrictions have been imposed on users’ access to the internet,” the communication ministry said in a statement carried by Fars news agency, adding that the decision was due to “the aggressor’s abuse of the country’s communication network for military purposes.” Iran already began restricting the internet after Israel’s surprise attack on Friday.
