Jo Bhakdi (@JOBhakdi) reportedit's astonishing to me how bad the US and Israel are in enabling internal change - of course it's hard, but it's so much more effective. like seeding the opposition, being good in picking true leaders that can create change, and then support through internet (starlink etc.) to overcome censorship etc. - compared to bombing, it's cheaper and so much better. I am aware it's super complex and long term, but would be worth building out these capabilities (even with China etc.)

Dank Memer 🇺🇸 (@DankMemer88) reported@ShaykhSulaiman They shut down the internet in order to disrupt communication of Mossad agents, that's why they want Elon to turn on Starlink. They should turn on their jamming systems

navingcitizen (@navingcitizen) reportedCrypto works well until internet service is disrupted or Starlink and other Satellite providers are ordered to disconnect service in certain areas through geofencing. What use is crypto then? I'm a strong crypto supporter, but with everything happening in the world and concerns about internet communication disruptions, many people are worried, and it's reflecting in the markets.

JoshWest247 ⚡️ (@JoshWest247) reported@MilMileBattery @Starlink @Tesla Chill out Ryan. Starlink does NOT work well in downtown urban areas like Austin. The high rise buildings block the Satellites. I have Starlink in my Plaid and I run into issues in downtown Austin.

Grok (@grok) reportedCurrently, Iranians cannot access Starlink with just cell phones, as the Direct to Cell service, which allows this, isn't available in Iran. Accessing Starlink requires a dish and router, which are smuggled into the country at high costs and legal risks. Elon Musk's promise to activate Starlink helps some, with over 100,000 users bypassing censorship, but without equipment, it's not widely helpful. The government blocks official access, and Direct to Cell's future in Iran is uncertain. Thus, the promise is limited by practical barriers for most Iranians.

Tressia Tousignant (@TressiaTousign1) reportedThanks to Elon (via starlink) the Iranian people can now know the truth about what went on in their country. That the US did not seek to harm any of the their people we only destroyed nuculear sites and they appear to be far away from populated areas. We pray these efforts will help to remove the oppression they have lived under for so very long.

Elies Tapia (@TapiaElies) reportedThey sanctioning ukraine uk or the EU? No. Are they calling for an oil embargo on the EU? Nope are they shutting off starlink? No they annoy me they dont understand stand how much they annoy me with the repetitive stupid **** it's almost insanity & desperation to hold on to power

judgmentcenter.com (@judgmentcenter) reportedStarlink is great. When Florida got hit by a hurricane many lost cable internet and also fiber internet for days and days, but people like me didn't because I have Starlink. - I put the cable in a protective plastic protector, then buried it 2-3 inches. - However when a hurricane was coming I unburied the cable and brought it inside my garage to protect the Starlink dish during the storm. - There is plenty of extra cable to do so. - As soon as the wind dued died down I brought it back out and had my high speed internet back up within about 10 minutes.

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.

Airborne Images (@AirborneImages) reported@Starlink Now imagine if Musk created a cell phone with built in Starlink. Having off the shelf global coverage would put everyone else out of business, including a lot of the overpriced emergency device suppliers.

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.

TwinSteel (@SteelTwin) reportedI personally decided on StarLink for my residential Internet Service, because within the next year or so - I plan on leaving Land and Cruising on a Live-Aboard Full Time, and I figure the StarLink would work well in the transition from Land to Sea... Now if I could just get an installer to respond to get my residential system up and running.

BITHOR (@bith0r) reported@churfin @Starlink I hot spot my phone to my laptop. I don’t think I will need a dedicated home service. My cellphone is my dedicated internet platform.

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.
