I don't understand how it's supposed to work. As far as I understand it starlink needs a satellite dish for the end user (good luck getting those into Iran unless they're already there), and also ground stations to tie into the traditional telecom network (so good luck having the powers that be allow that).



As other posters have noted, the Starlink kit is slightly larger than a big shoe box.

Also the satellites have about a 500 mile range from the ground stations, which easily puts Baghdad and Kuwait within range, and the Ayatollah Assahola isn't stopping the feed from a US military base

I figure they can be moved in via a third party or the Kurdish region of Iraq.

Honestly, I’m surprised some in the region won’t jump on the chance.

Oh someone will arm the poo poo out of these people, almost out of principle. For example, Israel.

Will it topple the regime? :shrug:

Will it be a big PITA for the Ayatolla? :hmmyes:

IIRC It took something like 9 months for Libya to go from protests in the streets to :ese: on Gaddafi.

Oil refinery in northern Iran on fire as well. Seems extremely likely that Israel is actively discouraging Iran from exporting weapons, but Bibi will also kick that dog whenever he thinks no one is really paying attention :shrug:;

EDIT

:lol: comedy take - Israel sees Iran as competition for Russia's arms market, so they did the needful

Fire is current though
