Khamenei's Hunt for Elon Musk's 'Weapon' in Iran: Starlink Raids Amidst Protests

  • Protests against the government are ongoing across all 31 provinces of Iran, with calls for "Khamenei, leave the country."
  • Khamenei has ordered the killing of rebels and shut down the internet using Russian and Chinese 'military-grade jammers' to hide the death toll, which exceeds 2,000.
  • Elon Musk's Starlink, a satellite-based internet service, became the last hope for Iranians to bypass censorship and share protest updates.
  • Khamenei's operatives are conducting house-to-house raids, climbing rooftops, and rappelling down buildings to seize hidden Starlink dishes.
  • Starlink devices, smuggled from Iraq and Persian Gulf countries, are considered a "weapon" against Khamenei's censorship, despite 80% of their traffic being jammed.

Why It Matters: Iran's government is aggressively cracking down on Starlink to suppress protests and control information flow.
