Tehran, January 14, 2026 – International call services have been fully restored in Iran's capital amid improving stability, according to China Media Group (CMG) correspondent Li Jiannan. The development follows days of heightened global attention on regional tensions.
Residents and foreign observers report a marked return to normalcy, with partial internet functionality resuming across Tehran. "While some digital platforms remain intermittent, essential communication channels are operational," noted Li during a live broadcast from central Tehran.
The restoration comes as authorities implement measures to maintain public order. Business districts showed typical mid-week activity levels during CMG's afternoon survey, contrasting with recent disruptions to cross-border communications.
Analysts suggest the communications revival could ease concerns for overseas investors and diaspora communities seeking to contact relatives. However, regional observers caution that broader geopolitical challenges persist across the Middle East.
