Gmail access restored inside Iran

Iran has lifted restrictions imposed a week ago on the secure version of the Google email service and search engine.

Google’s video-sharing site, YouTube, which has been blocked in Iran since 2009, remains unavailable.

Iran’s telecommunications ministry committee said of the ban: “We wanted to block YouTube, and Gmail was also blocked, which was involuntary.”

“We do not yet have enough technical know-how to differentiate between these two services,” Mohammad Reza Miri said.
