Iranian Cyber Official Calls Starlink Terminals Military Targets
Original: Iran Cyber Chief Labels Starlink Terminals “Military Targets” Following January Unrest
A senior Iranian cyber official has declared Starlink terminals operating in Iran to be "military targets," remarks that follow the unrest of January. The statement signals that Tehran views the satellite internet devices, smuggled in to bypass government internet restrictions, as a national security threat and warns of potential action against users and equipment.
Why now: Tensions over internet censorship and satellite internet use during protests in Iran keep this statement in the spotlight.
