Reports say the #TRUMP administration quietly sent about 6,000 Starlink terminals into Iran after the government shut down internet access. The goal was to help citizens stay connected and bypass censorship during protests.
Starlink equipment is illegal in Iran, but many people reportedly use it to access the open internet. The White House has not commented on the report.
Big picture: internet access is becoming a geopolitical tool, and satellite networks like Starlink are now part of global political strategy.
