Comment on Iran's internet shutdown is chillingly precise and may last some time

Comments

Word on the street is Starlink is operational in Iran [0]. Although the article claims it's being jammed in some neighbourhoods:

Starlink was being jammed, Rashidi said, although the extent varied from one neighbourhood to another.

I'd guess you can also easily track down star link terminals via drones (fly high up until you find a signal, then go lower while keeping the signal active)

Possibly a difficult ask for a regime under fairly extreme pressure (but not impossible, for sure, and they'd only need to do it once per system).
