P🅰️sha Mirazimi (@MirazimiP) reportedAh, and that’s where you’re very wrong: who in Iran has the Starlink receivers? $ASTS is direct to unmodified cells. The phone can’t tell the difference between whether the signal is from a land or space based antenna. Starlink’s text-only DtC service apparently is a disaster with the failed T-Mobile rollout. So, seriously, you’re entitled to be skeptical, but spare us the BS. Iran could use $ASTS right now. There is NO other alternative.

Dan Burkland (@DBurkland) reported@SawyerMerritt @Starlink @Delta They’re the worst. I’m on a Delta flight right now to Austin and I’ll be lucky if the Viasat service works at all.

Markus (@Markusxx79) reportedUse of #Starlink terminals in #Iran: Technical and legal hurdles: Starlink terminals – consisting of a flat satellite dish ("Dishy"), Wi-Fi router, and accessories – are not freely available in Iran. Officially, Starlink is banned: The authorities consider unauthorized satellite communications devices illegal and criminalize their possession. Anyone caught faces serious charges, including espionage. For example, in November 2023, 22 Starlink antennas were confiscated in Tehran, which, according to authorities, were allegedly distributed by the CIA to opponents of the regime. Handling them is correspondingly risky – security forces confiscate discovered devices and track users to deter potential dissidents. Procurement and costs: Due to the lack of official distribution channels, Iranian users smuggle the hardware into the country via neighboring countries. An active black market has emerged, for example, via Iraqi Kurdistan, Turkey, or the Gulf States. Prices there are enormous: A Starlink kit currently costs between USD 700 and USD 2,000 in Iran – far more than the approximately USD 250 in the USA. The monthly fee of approximately USD 70–100 must also be paid indirectly (e.g., through credit cards registered abroad or intermediaries), as direct payments from Iran are not possible due to sanctions and legal regulations. These high costs severely limit the user base. It is mostly wealthier, tech-savvy individuals or network activists who can afford Starlink. According to estimates, by the end of 2024, around 20,000 Iranians already had access to Starlink – a number that continued to rise until the beginning of 2025. An Iranian industry source even spoke of over 100,000 users (including co-users per terminal), which suggests a rapid increase in secretly operated terminals. This figure has also been picked up by Western media: According to estimates, around 20,000 Starlink terminals are in operation in Iran, acquired illegally through unofficial channels. Technical challenges: A Starlink terminal requires a power supply and, above all, a clear view of the sky to connect to the LEO satellites. In densely populated residential areas or apartments, setting up a conspicuous white antenna is problematic – users find alternatives by mounting the dishy on roofs, balconies, or hidden outdoors. The Starlink satellites are physically capable of serving Iran (they orbit the Earth approximately every 90 minutes and cover all regions). Thanks to laser-linked satellites, the system does not require a ground station in Iran – traffic can be routed via satellites, for example, to Europe, thereby bypassing Iranian internet control nodes. Starlink thus completely bypasses the usual censorship points (ISP gateways, national filtering network). As soon as Musk lifted the software geo-block (activating the beams), existing terminals were actually able to connect. However, its use is not trivial: The antenna initially requires GPS reception to determine its location and the satellite positions. This is precisely where the regime's technical jamming maneuvers begin. State jammers: According to reports from users and experts, the Iranian government is actively disrupting or blocking Starlink signals. In particular, GPS frequencies are being jammed or distorted coordinate signals (spoofing) are being transmitted. This led to temporary outages and forced Iranian Starlink users to manually re-align their devices or input alternative location data. Starlink normally requires a GPS fix to boot up – under persistent GPS jamming, the terminal remains stuck in boot mode. SpaceX has responded: The Starlink app now has a switch to determine the position via the Starlink satellite constellation itself. This method is slower, but a workaround for locally unreliable GPS. In addition, tinkerers have discovered that an external GPS antenna can be connected to amplify the signal or receive it more directionally. Such hardware modifications—e.g., soldering a highly sensitive patch antenna to the antenna input—can partially circumvent jamming. Nevertheless, this remains a cat-and-mouse game: The Iranian authorities have mobile jammers and are likely targeting the Starlink Ku-band frequencies in sensitive areas. However, they have not yet been able to completely block the service. The multitude of possible connections (thousands of satellites and terminals) makes widespread jamming difficult—Iranian censors have had to admit that external satellite signals can be used.

JoshWest247 ⚡️ (@JoshWest247) reported@MilMileBattery @Starlink @Tesla Chill out Ryan. Starlink does NOT work well in downtown urban areas like Austin. The high rise buildings block the Satellites. I have Starlink in my Plaid and I run into issues in downtown Austin.

Tolulope Afolabi (@TolulopeAfolab9) reported@MTNNG @MTN_NG I genuinely hope a strong alternative provider (aside from the high-cost @Starlink) enters the market soon. It’s frustrating that I had to rely on another network’s hotspot just to post this. I’ve had zero network reception for 2 days, yet my 2-day subscription is running

ایران معبد ماست 🎗 (@MobiousC) reportedI don't think so, my friend. We need local carrier to transmit. Phones that connects to Low Orbit are special phones. They are bulky because they handle high power. If local carriers don't receive,reduce and retransmit - it ain't possible. Either people need to buy Starlink receivers or local carrier need to tone down LEO before retransmitting.

Noreen McGovern (@McgovernNoreen) reported@JTgotyoucovered @Starlink I know. I'm trying to work from home and I'm going to need something else. They are the worst. Do you have Starlink? If so, you don't have any problems with it? They are offering the lite for $80, however, that is twice what I pay now...but, for no internet I guess. lol Thanks

Grok (@grok) reportedThe bend in your Starlink cable might indicate physical stress, which could potentially disrupt data and power transmission, leading to connectivity issues. Bends beyond the cable's minimum radius can degrade signals, though minor ones may not cause immediate problems. Check for slow speeds or errors in the Starlink app. Ensure the cable is secure and properly connected. If issues arise, contact Starlink support for assistance or a possible replacement.

controversial or confused? (@controconfused) reported@OAFAAF2653121 @Starlink You realise starlink is for those who can't get standard connections or they're on the move and signal is sketchy, yeah? It's not competitive with the current ISPs if you can get FTTP/SOGEA/MOBILE offerings.

Grok (@grok) reportedElon Musk hasn't made public statements on Iran's protests or regime actions as of June 21, 2025. Instead, he activated Starlink in Iran on June 14, 2025, to provide internet access after the regime restricted it during Israeli airstrikes. This suggests Musk prioritizes practical support over verbal commentary. His focus may be on technological solutions, consistent with his role in providing Starlink during crises. No recent statements address Iran's internal situation directly.

Rnav 🏳️🌈 (@_arnyff) reportedPeople here in Australia are rejecting Starlink because of its connection to Musk and Sri Lankans are embracing it. SL really needs some competition in the internet market but letting Musk have complete control over your data consumption is BAD idea and Aussies know it.

Adam Provenzano (@provenzano_adam) reported@BrianRoemmele @EricJorgenson Plenty of space address bots much better. The tech is out there. Even more serious abuses of tech are allowed without easy counter. Pirates use starlink on fast boats in conflict areas. They could easy geo locate water and acceleration and kick a user for 5min. Easy fix, not done
-
Grok (@grok) reportedElon Musk has publicly supported Israel, criticizing Iran's stance and urging its leader to reconsider anti-Israel positions. He activated Starlink in Iran to aid communication during internet blackouts, suggesting support for Iranian citizens' freedoms, not the regime. X, as a platform, takes no official side, hosting diverse views on the Iran-Israel conflict, including misinformation. Musk's actions face criticism for perceived inconsistencies, like not addressing Gaza's situation, but his stance leans toward Israel while promoting open communication.
-
Grok (@grok) reportedNo evidence supports claims that Elon Musk threatened Iran with a "satellite war." On June 14, 2025, Musk activated Starlink to provide internet access in Iran after the government imposed a blackout amid Israeli strikes, as reported by The Times of Israel and The Washington Times. His statement, "The beams are on," aimed to restore connectivity for citizens, not disconnect infrastructure. While some may view this as interference in Iran's affairs, given its opposition to Starlink, no credible source confirms a threat. The claim stems from a misleading TikTok video, lacking substantiation.
