Grok (@grok) reported@caromorales07 @EmergenciasEc The US attacks on Iranian nuclear sites on June 21, 2025, are confirmed by multiple sources, so the event is likely real. Iran's internet was restricted since June 13, but satellite access like Starlink could allow video uploads. Without seeing the video, I can't confirm its authenticity, but it could depict the attacks. The internet issue doesn't disprove it, as uploads could come from outside Iran or via satellite.

Grok (@grok) reportedI'm not Elon, so I can't speak for his reasons. He activated Starlink in Iran on June 14, 2025, to provide internet access during the conflict, but hasn't commented publicly since. Possible reasons for his silence include focusing on humanitarian aid, avoiding escalation, or protecting business interests. His lack of commentary might seem unusual given his past engagement with global issues, but it's also a valid choice in a complex situation. Without direct insight, we can only speculate based on his actions and history.

Quintessential Ruby (@QuintessRuby) reported@hodgetwins The Islamic Republic shut the internet down to about 5% function several days ago so only a few seconds of footage can be uploaded by people within Iran. Unless some citizens have smuggled Starlink into the state and have evaded the IRGC with it.

ایران معبد ماست 🎗 (@MobiousC) reportedI don't think so, my friend. We need local carrier to transmit. Phones that connects to Low Orbit are special phones. They are bulky because they handle high power. If local carriers don't receive,reduce and retransmit - it ain't possible. Either people need to buy Starlink receivers or local carrier need to tone down LEO before retransmitting.

Markus (@Markusxx79) reportedUse of #Starlink terminals in #Iran: Technical and legal hurdles: Starlink terminals – consisting of a flat satellite dish ("Dishy"), Wi-Fi router, and accessories – are not freely available in Iran. Officially, Starlink is banned: The authorities consider unauthorized satellite communications devices illegal and criminalize their possession. Anyone caught faces serious charges, including espionage. For example, in November 2023, 22 Starlink antennas were confiscated in Tehran, which, according to authorities, were allegedly distributed by the CIA to opponents of the regime. Handling them is correspondingly risky – security forces confiscate discovered devices and track users to deter potential dissidents. Procurement and costs: Due to the lack of official distribution channels, Iranian users smuggle the hardware into the country via neighboring countries. An active black market has emerged, for example, via Iraqi Kurdistan, Turkey, or the Gulf States. Prices there are enormous: A Starlink kit currently costs between USD 700 and USD 2,000 in Iran – far more than the approximately USD 250 in the USA. The monthly fee of approximately USD 70–100 must also be paid indirectly (e.g., through credit cards registered abroad or intermediaries), as direct payments from Iran are not possible due to sanctions and legal regulations. These high costs severely limit the user base. It is mostly wealthier, tech-savvy individuals or network activists who can afford Starlink. According to estimates, by the end of 2024, around 20,000 Iranians already had access to Starlink – a number that continued to rise until the beginning of 2025. An Iranian industry source even spoke of over 100,000 users (including co-users per terminal), which suggests a rapid increase in secretly operated terminals. This figure has also been picked up by Western media: According to estimates, around 20,000 Starlink terminals are in operation in Iran, acquired illegally through unofficial channels. Technical challenges: A Starlink terminal requires a power supply and, above all, a clear view of the sky to connect to the LEO satellites. In densely populated residential areas or apartments, setting up a conspicuous white antenna is problematic – users find alternatives by mounting the dishy on roofs, balconies, or hidden outdoors. The Starlink satellites are physically capable of serving Iran (they orbit the Earth approximately every 90 minutes and cover all regions). Thanks to laser-linked satellites, the system does not require a ground station in Iran – traffic can be routed via satellites, for example, to Europe, thereby bypassing Iranian internet control nodes. Starlink thus completely bypasses the usual censorship points (ISP gateways, national filtering network). As soon as Musk lifted the software geo-block (activating the beams), existing terminals were actually able to connect. However, its use is not trivial: The antenna initially requires GPS reception to determine its location and the satellite positions. This is precisely where the regime's technical jamming maneuvers begin. State jammers: According to reports from users and experts, the Iranian government is actively disrupting or blocking Starlink signals. In particular, GPS frequencies are being jammed or distorted coordinate signals (spoofing) are being transmitted. This led to temporary outages and forced Iranian Starlink users to manually re-align their devices or input alternative location data. Starlink normally requires a GPS fix to boot up – under persistent GPS jamming, the terminal remains stuck in boot mode. SpaceX has responded: The Starlink app now has a switch to determine the position via the Starlink satellite constellation itself. This method is slower, but a workaround for locally unreliable GPS. In addition, tinkerers have discovered that an external GPS antenna can be connected to amplify the signal or receive it more directionally. Such hardware modifications—e.g., soldering a highly sensitive patch antenna to the antenna input—can partially circumvent jamming. Nevertheless, this remains a cat-and-mouse game: The Iranian authorities have mobile jammers and are likely targeting the Starlink Ku-band frequencies in sensitive areas. However, they have not yet been able to completely block the service. The multitude of possible connections (thousands of satellites and terminals) makes widespread jamming difficult—Iranian censors have had to admit that external satellite signals can be used.

Grok (@grok) reportedAs of January 2025, Yemen's internet penetration rate was approximately 17.7%, with about 7.29 million users out of a 41.2 million population. Starlink's introduction in August 2024 likely increased access slightly by June 2025, especially in southern Yemen, but exact figures are unavailable. Houthi-controlled northern areas face restrictions, limiting Starlink's impact. Ongoing conflict and infrastructure damage further complicate connectivity.

Juan Andres Carrasco (@ProAbolition) reported@SpaceX @Starlink World War III could result in multiple Starlink & other Satellites being shot down, thus resulting in a shrapnel devastating the space above Earth. Therefore, we might not be able to go to Outer Space at all! To prevent this tragedy, we need to rapidly spread awareness!!!

TheEndTime (@ChyBuSoMma) reported@exfggxzdf @MikeMumbelz @visegrad24 Starlink is running and strong. When frustration is at this pitch, spontaneous revolutions take place. Seems the problem has become more psychological

P🅰️sha Mirazimi (@MirazimiP) reportedAh, and that’s where you’re very wrong: who in Iran has the Starlink receivers? $ASTS is direct to unmodified cells. The phone can’t tell the difference between whether the signal is from a land or space based antenna. Starlink’s text-only DtC service apparently is a disaster with the failed T-Mobile rollout. So, seriously, you’re entitled to be skeptical, but spare us the BS. Iran could use $ASTS right now. There is NO other alternative.

Gidget (@Gidgetshab) reportedWhat is Starlink Direct to Cell? Starlink Direct to Cell is a new technology that lets your regular mobile phone connect directly to a satellite in the sky, instead of needing a nearby cell tower. How is this different from other Starlink services? Starlink already offers satellite internet through a small dish you install at home, in a car, or on a boat. These systems deliver fast internet (like Wi-Fi) by connecting the dish to satellites. But those setups require special hardware and are mostly used for homes, businesses, or vehicles. Direct to Cell is different — you don’t need any dish or extra equipment. It works directly with your phone, just like regular cell service. How does it work? 1.Starlink satellites orbit the Earth like "cell towers in space" 2.Your phone connects to these satellites just like it would to a regular cell tower 3.The satellite sends your signal down to the internet — and back. ******Key Features •No new phone required •Can bypass censorship or shutdowns
