Iran escalates Starlink threats over fears of losing internet control
Iranian authorities are intensifying threats and warnings against the use of Starlink satellite internet, which has circulated in the country as a way to bypass state restrictions and censorship. Officials view the widespread use of the satellite service as a direct challenge to the government's ability to control or shut down internet access during periods of unrest, and reports indicate enforcement measures against it are being stepped up.
