Original: Iran official warns Starlink could end state control of internet

An Iranian official has warned that Elon Musk's Starlink satellite internet service could break the state's monopoly over Iranians' access to the internet. The remarks, reported by Iran International, reflect fears in Tehran that satellite connectivity would let citizens bypass government censorship and filtering, undermining the authorities' ability to control information flows.

Why now: Starlink is seen as a way for Iranians to circumvent government internet restrictions, making it a flashpoint between Tehran and Western technology.
