🇮🇷🇺🇸🇮🇱Iran Hunts Starlink Users to Quash Protests, Espionage Iranian authorities intercepted smuggled electronics, including Starlink terminals, intended for distribution in unrest-affected provinces. The seized equipment, including long-range receivers, signal boosters, 5G modems, and smartphones, originated from a neighboring country. Officials claim the gear was intended to enable covert internet and mobile access for espionage and sabotage targeting critical infrastructure. The shipment was reportedly destined for areas near military and missile sites. Possession of Starlink terminals has been considered evidence of espionage since last year. Authorities now report that a large batch of the confiscated Starlink satellite data terminals were intended for coordinating mass protests. Security forces launched an operation in western Tehran to locate and confiscate Starlink dishes, preventing the transfer of protest footage outside of Iran. Minas Tirith | 24/7 News channel | Updated
