BlockBeats News, February 13 — According to The Wall Street Journal, after the Iranian government cut off the country’s internet in January, the Trump administration secretly smuggled 6,000 Starlink satellite terminals into Iran to ensure that internal dissidents could continue to access the internet.
The United States had previously purchased nearly 7,000 Starlink terminals, and Trump was aware of these deliveries, but it is unclear whether he personally approved these purchases. In Iran, possessing Starlink equipment is illegal, but thousands of Iranians are using it to bypass censorship. Trump has publicly encouraged Iranians to protest and promised that “aid is coming.” The White House has currently declined to comment.
