Starlink in Iran: How the regime jams the service and what helps against it
www.heise.de
In Iran, not only mobile and fixed networks are jammed, but also Starlink. We explain how this is likely achieved despite thousands of satellites.

While neither the regime nor SpaceX likes to reveal their cards, hackers and journalists are not deterred by this, and the laws of physics apply to everyone.

    1. Iran is not a ‘regime’. US and the West are. You are just regurgitating primitive US propaganda.
    2. CIA and Mossad uses Starlink to have contact with their operators on ground. Thousands and thousands of Starlink terminals were sent to local CIA/Mossad agitators that could then report/record the ‘color-revolution’ they created, back to the western propaganda machine. BBC had direct connection to the live propaganda from before the unrest started.
    3. Why on Earth should ‘people do something’ about Iran defending themselves from an obvious US “regime change” operation ?? Hindering Iran in defending themselves, are just supporting US and Israel in their psychopatic behavior, and revealing that one haven’t yet discarded the Western propaganda.

    By now, the US lead ‘regime-change operation’ have failed - miserably. Millions of Iranians went on to the streets and protested pro government, and against the small group of artificially agitated rioters than stood for all the violence/provocations (and filmed/sent via starlink oc).

    The ugly and very unpleasant truth for us privacy oriented people, is that US are using us as internet-warriors to breach firewalls setup by attacked nations. ANY nation that does not have an internet firewall and their own social media, will get their population propagandized and be hi-jacked/politically colonized by the US Plutocracy. The ‘wevil ones’ are proclaimed as Dictators/Authoritarians in violent regimes that oppress their people, but the only thing these nations do ‘wrong’, is that they won’t surrender their nations to the US/Western overlords. A fair and humble wish, I think.

    Chinese, Russian and Iranian people don’t need us to fight for their ‘freedom’, bc they have much more freedom than we do in the West, and it is us that are completely propagandized to believe that everyone else is ‘savages’ and needs our Oligarchs to come in and ‘put things in order’ - we are no better than the common shitters of the past that supported and allowed the wipeout of the wevil Indians, supported slavery and colonization throughout the West.

    We still moronically believe the embarrassing US narrative of the ‘Wevil non-civilized regimes’ out there, and thus supports the US Plutocracy in constantly killing off/terrorizing millions of people and dozens of peaceful nations/people… Yay for us - the progressive west…

      Ok buddy. Listen just because the West and the USA are kinda broken and doing fucked up shit right now, doesn’t automatically make “the other side” right or good.

        This is the biggest problem with goobers like this, they hate the US, with good reason, but don’t quite grasp that the people the US are fighting aren’t automatically the good guys.

        So they end up supporting some pretty horrific regimes.

        The fact that you think the US is only doing fucked up shit “right now” shows that you have no understanding of US imperialism and colonialism.

        Iran government bad. US government and Jewish ISIS are way worse, and not just now.

          I didn’t say they haven’t done fucked up shit forever. I’m saying jumping on the fact that they are doing messed up shit right now doesn’t make the “other side” right. No matter how bad the US is, it has no impact on the opinion of their enemies.

      Oh look, yet another Tankie who thinks the grass would be greener where the lawn describes itself as communist.

      How’s that “more freedom” been going for the Uyghur? Or maybe you meant the freedom to free-fall out a window when running as a political opposition to Putin?

        Oh, yes. My sister’s friend once went to a protest. Each time she crosses the border (has to see relatives in Russia and all that), it’s an hour long interview.

          Yep. When talking to Russians who emigrated away from Russia, you will find plenty of stories just like your sister’s friend’s one.

          What the tankies idolizing the country seem to not realize is that living there as a national is oppressive. Your standard of living depends on staying in the good graces of the government—good graces that can quickly be lost by appearing to go against them.

          The United States government is working its way towards that at an astonishing pace, but saying Russia has more freedoms is a complete delusion.

            Your standard of living depends on staying in the good graces of the government—good graces that can quickly be lost by appearing to go against them.

            First of all, your standard of living heavily depends on how big a network of friends and family you have. If it’s zero, then as a guy your life won’t be very interesting, and as a gal you might run out of non-exploitative choices.

            Second, about good graces and such - yeah, doing political activism you might start having problems with banking and many other things.

      So the people killing women for partially uncovering their hair are the good guys?

      The people murdering thousands of protestors are the good guys?

      So the religious fundamentalists imposing doctrine at gunpoint are the good guys?

      I think the people protesting for their lives and freedoms are the good guys, but that’s just me.
