Trump Eyes Musk's Starlink to Restore Internet in Iran Amidst Protests

• Donald Trump plans to discuss with Elon Musk the possibility of restoring internet services in Iran using Starlink.
• This move mirrors a previous initiative in Venezuela where Starlink provided free internet during political tensions.
• Iran's Khamenei government has shut down internet services nationwide to suppress anti-government protests that began on December 28.
• Protests, initially over rising prices, have escalated into a major anti-government movement against the 1979 Islamic Revolution regime.
• Human rights groups report at least 544 deaths in the crackdown, with fears of a higher toll.

Why It Matters: Trump seeks to use Starlink to bypass Iran's internet blackout and support protesters, echoing Venezuela's strategy.
