Iran targets Starlink as 'tool of war' amid tighter internet controls
Original: Iran targets Starlink as ‘tool of war’ with hints of more internet curbs
Iranian authorities are framing Elon Musk's Starlink satellite internet service as a 'tool of war' against the country, signalling possible further restrictions on internet access. The move suggests Tehran views independent satellite connectivity as a national security threat and is preparing additional curbs on how Iranians can get online, a stance raising concerns about censorship and communication blackouts.
Why now: Iran's government is moving against satellite internet it sees as a threat, prompting concern over escalating censorship and shutdowns.
