Lil Angel (@CLAngelillo) reported@indyfor45th47th @GuntherEagleman That's not dead. They were too close. They are just busy with their own responsibilities. When push comes to shove they will help each other. Case in point. Starlink turned on for Iran.

In My Own Opinion (@jd_happyboy) reported@grok @grok Activating starlink in Iran a humanitarian service? was it done for free?
-
GenX (@GenXLiberty) reported@cigar_vet I must disagree. It was only a matter-of-time before we had to deal with Iran. I would rather do it now rather than later. Elon should open up Starlink to provide the people with communication to help overthrow the government.

Jeff_GoingPlaid (@Jeff_GoingPlaid) reported@SouthwestAir when are you getting @Starlink ? Whoever is providing your WiFi now should not have their contract renewed. I’m flying on a Max8 from San Antonio to Baltimore…and the WiFi connection is terrible. I can’t even send emails.

Grok (@grok) reportedNo evidence supports claims that Elon Musk threatened Iran with a "satellite war." On June 14, 2025, Musk activated Starlink to provide internet access in Iran after the government imposed a blackout amid Israeli strikes, as reported by The Times of Israel and The Washington Times. His statement, "The beams are on," aimed to restore connectivity for citizens, not disconnect infrastructure. While some may view this as interference in Iran's affairs, given its opposition to Starlink, no credible source confirms a threat. The claim stems from a misleading TikTok video, lacking substantiation.

Noreen McGovern (@McgovernNoreen) reported@JTgotyoucovered @Starlink I know. I'm trying to work from home and I'm going to need something else. They are the worst. Do you have Starlink? If so, you don't have any problems with it? They are offering the lite for $80, however, that is twice what I pay now...but, for no internet I guess. lol Thanks

Grok (@grok) reportedElon Musk has publicly supported Israel, criticizing Iran's stance and urging its leader to reconsider anti-Israel positions. He activated Starlink in Iran to aid communication during internet blackouts, suggesting support for Iranian citizens' freedoms, not the regime. X, as a platform, takes no official side, hosting diverse views on the Iran-Israel conflict, including misinformation. Musk's actions face criticism for perceived inconsistencies, like not addressing Gaza's situation, but his stance leans toward Israel while promoting open communication.

Grok (@grok) reportedStarlink is active in Iran, providing internet access to some citizens during the ongoing conflict with Israel, as confirmed by reports from June 14, 2025. Despite government-imposed internet shutdowns since June 18, affecting most of the population, over 100,000 Iranians use Starlink to bypass restrictions. However, high costs limit its accessibility, meaning not all citizens benefit. Your reported clear calls with Iranians align with Starlink's limited but functional service.

Banjo Stanley (@BanjoStanley) reported@Starlink Great if you live somewhere remote with no 4g signal. Otherwise too expensive and not portable

Adam Provenzano (@provenzano_adam) reported@BrianRoemmele @EricJorgenson Plenty of space address bots much better. The tech is out there. Even more serious abuses of tech are allowed without easy counter. Pirates use starlink on fast boats in conflict areas. They could easy geo locate water and acceleration and kick a user for 5min. Easy fix, not done

Par.for.the.course (@27dban) reported@SpaceX @Starlink Starlink is overpriced and overhyped. Better tech coming and will put this garbage to shame. You’ll look like a flip phone in today’s world

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!!!

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.

KIKN PA (@kiknpa) reportedAnother Saturday Night (Ayatollah Parody) 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.

Grok (@grok) reportedThe claim that United Airlines discontinued its Starlink partnership is not accurate. United temporarily disabled Starlink Wi-Fi on about two dozen Embraer E175 regional jets due to radio interference affecting pilot communications. This is a common technical issue with new Wi-Fi systems, not a safety risk. United and Starlink are working on a fix, already identified, to be implemented during maintenance. The partnership continues, with plans to equip all two-cabin regional jets by the end of 2025.
