Starlink Available In Iran Following Blackout
A network of Iranians has been smuggling Starlink satellite terminals into Iran to bypass the country's internet blackout. Users in Iran are utilizing Starlink satellite internet to circumvent ongoing internet blackouts in the country. These disruptions have been in place since the United States and Israel attacked Iran in February. An anonymous member of the smuggling network spoke to the BBC regarding the operation. The source did not specify the exact destination country or the scale of the smuggling operation. The terminals are intended to maintain communication capabilities despite state-imposed restrictions. The source stated the activity is for getting credible information out of the country despite the risk of severe consequences for families.
