🇮🇷🇨🇳Iran Uses Military Jamming to Shut Down Starlink with China's Aid Reports indicate Chinese technology is assisting Iran in disabling Starlink terminals, effectively disrupting communications for 40,000 devices. This collaboration follows the smuggling of terminals into Iran ahead of mass protests. The method involves hardware and jamming techniques, potentially based on Chinese research into disabling Starlink over Taiwan. This successful disruption raises concerns about the vulnerability of LEO satellites and the ability to bypass internet shutdowns. The situation is being closely monitored by Chinese researchers, who are analyzing the effectiveness of their Starlink shutdown research. President Trump has announced plans to discuss with Elon Musk the possibility of providing Starlink internet access to Iran. Iran has now used military jamming to shut down Starlink, extending its internet blackout. Within hours, over 80% of Starlink traffic inside Iran was disrupted.
