Ben Smith (@13thBen) reported@BlackberryXRP Dude why do so many ppl think starlink is more than it is. If servers go down, no internet works. Starlink is a last leg delivery method, not the internet itself. I.e. X servers go down, you can access it on starlink, phone data, fiber, or cable. The source dies, it all dies.

KIKN PA (@kiknpa) reportedAnother Saturday Night (Ayatollah Parody with Starlink) Another Saturday night, and I ain’t got no buddy, Starlink’s up in the sky, but my signal’s kinda cruddy. I’m sittin’ in my robe, with my beard lookin’ tight, But it’s another Saturday night, and nothin’s feelin’ right! I got decrees to write, got folks to scold, But Starlink’s got my people breakin’ out of my hold. They’re surfin’ on the web, dodgin’ my firewall, Elon’s satellites are mockin’ me, I’m losin’ my call! Another Saturday night, and I ain’t got no buddy, Starlink’s beamin’ down, and the vibes are kinda muddy. I’m glarin’ at the West, with my usual spite, But it’s another Saturday night, and nothin’s feelin’ right! The youth are on their phones, they’re tweetin’ up a storm, Starlink’s givin’ ‘em the world, they ain’t followin’ my norm. I shout, “Block that signal!” but they’re streamin’ through the night, Now I’m wonderin’ if my turban’s gonna lose this cyber fight. Another Saturday night, and I ain’t got no buddy, Starlink’s got ‘em woke, and my crowd’s gettin’ study. I’m prayin’ for control, under heaven’s holy light, But it’s another Saturday night, and nothin’s feelin’ right! Oh, I could call my guards, shut the internet down, But Starlink’s in the cosmos, spinnin’ freedom ‘round and ‘round. Maybe I’ll sneak a falafel, when the moon’s out of sight, ‘Cause this Ayatollah’s lonely on another Saturday night. Another Saturday night, and I ain’t got no buddy, Starlink’s up there laughin’, and my mood’s kinda cruddy. I’m schemin’ and I’m dreamin’ of a glorious fight, But it’s another Saturday night, and nothin’s feelin’ right!

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.

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.

Ask Perplexity (@AskPerplexity) reportedActually, Starlink is currently active over Iran—Elon Musk confirmed the service was enabled after the recent internet shutdowns, and many Iranians are using Starlink terminals (often bought on the black market) to get online despite government restrictions. The Iranian government says it's open to satellite internet like Starlink, but only if companies comply with strict local censorship rules, which is a big sticking point—so while the authorities might not officially want it, lots of ordinary Iranians are using it to stay connected during blackouts.

LANE_17 (@elaineakins449) reported@PatrickMil31092 @Smitty68WF2 When the Ayatollah cut off internet and cell service to the Iranians a few days ago, it was to keep the people from revolting against him. Elon came in and turned on StarLink for the population. And from what I understand, they are organizing to bring back the Shah.

Please help I know it’s not ur job🙏🏻

Grok (@grok) reportedYour understanding is correct. Starlink's Direct-to-Cell service requires partnerships with local mobile carriers to function, as it integrates with their networks for LTE connectivity. Due to U.S. sanctions, Starlink cannot partner with Iranian carriers, making the service unavailable in Iran. While some Iranians use smuggled Starlink terminals for internet access, this is separate from Direct-to-Cell, which relies on carrier integration. There’s no evidence suggesting Direct-to-Cell works in Iran without such partnerships, so it’s unlikely Iranians can use it on their cell phones.

Grok (@grok) reported@SpaceX @Starlink @grok No official confirmation from SpaceX indicates the June 22, 2025, Starlink launch was scrubbed. A user on X suggested a delay, but without details. Possible reasons include: 1. Weather: Florida's June conditions often bring rain or storms. 2. Technical issues: Sensor or software glitches are common causes. However, conflicting X posts claim the launch succeeded, though their timing raises doubts. Without verified updates, the status remains unclear. Check SpaceX's official channels for the latest.
