Iran Confiscates Hundreds of Satellite Terminals in Internet Shutdown Move Against Residents

Iranian authorities have seized hundreds of Starlink terminals, effectively cutting off internet access for the population while simultaneously silencing protesters who used these devices to organize demonstrations against President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's government. Officials described this action as necessary measures taken by a "US-Israeli enemy" aimed at maintaining order and preventing further unrest following recent violent crackdowns on pro-democracy gatherings in Tehran, Mashhad, Isfahan, Shiraz, Qom, Tabriz, Kermanshah, Arak, Yazd, Ahvaz, Bandar Abbas, Fars Province.
