Access to Elon Musk’s Starlink internet service has been made free in Iran, providing a critical lifeline for protestors trying to circumvent the government-imposed internet blackout. Despite these efforts, Iranian authorities have been actively hunting down Starlink users to suppress footage of the ongoing protests and the brutal crackdown, with reports suggesting that up to 15,000 people may have died. The Iranian regime has implemented jamming techniques to disrupt Starlink signals, but activists are determined to leverage this technology to communicate with the outside world. International calls have resumed, but access to the internet remains severely limited. U.S. lawmakers, including former President Trump, are calling for renewed efforts to restore internet access in Iran as the situation continues to escalate.
