Original: Iran escalates Starlink threats over fears of losing internet control
Iranian authorities have intensified threats against Starlink, the satellite internet service operated by Elon Musk's SpaceX, amid concerns that the technology could allow Iranians to bypass state-imposed internet restrictions.
