💔 🕯️ Mohammad Assadi, 22, was shot in the back of the thigh on the evening of January 9, 2026, in Malek-Shahr, Iran.

His condition was still stable when he was taken to the hospital. 🚫 The repressive forces prevented the people accompanying him from entering. ⏳ About an hour later, they announced his death. 💔 Mohammad fell in the struggle for Iran’s freedom. We will never forget his name. 🕊️ May his memory live on. #Iran #IranMassacre

On October 4, 2026, the Islamic Republic regime’s Foreign Ministry summoned Norway’s ambassador over an unusual dispute. The complaint was not about sanctions, oil or nuclear inspections. It was about internet traffic coming from space. Tehran demanded that Norway, whose administration handles relevant Starlink satellite filings at the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), help terminate unauthorized Starlink connections inside Iran. The following day, the confrontation escalated further: Mohammad Amin Aghamiri, secretary of Iran’s Supreme Council of Cyberspace, claimed that authorities had successfully disabled Starlink terminals during the January 2026 protests and warned that satellite-internet infrastructure could become a “legitimate military target” if used as an instrument of war. Whether Tehran actually achieved the comprehensive shutdown Aghamiri claimed remains unverified. What is clear is that Starlink has moved from being a censorship nuisance to a major security problem for the state. Tens of Thousands of Terminals—and a Growing Supply Chain Nobody outside SpaceX knows the precise number operating in Iran. But independent estimates now converge around at least 50,000 terminals. An earlier estimate from Tehran’s E-Commerce Association put the number of Starlink users at roughly 100,000 as early as December 2024. One terminal can serve multiple people, making terminal counts and user counts fundamentally different. The authorities’ own figures reveal the scale of the underground market. The regime’s Economic Security Police said in August that it had seized 997 Starlink devices and arrested 163 people in just four months, while confiscating 15 vehicles used to transport equipment. Police said devices were arriving through Azerbaijan and Iraqi Kurdistan in the west and through Qatar, the UAE and Oman by southern maritime routes. That logistical battle may become harder. Iraq formally licensed Starlink in July, while the UAE granted the company a ten-year satellite-service license in August. Two markets on Iran’s immediate periphery can now legally import equipment that remains contraband across the Iranian border.
