Iran regime jams Starlink lifeline as Internet blackout puts users at risk

Published on Jan 13, 2026 10:10 pm IST

Iran’s government has escalated efforts to choke off information amid unrest by enforcing a prolonged nationwide internet blackout, seizing satellite dishes and CCTV recordings, and reportedly jamming Starlink connections used by tens of thousands for uncensored access, raising serious risks for users identified by the regime. As anti‑Khamenei protests show signs of fading after days of clashes and mass arrests, Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei hails huge pro‑regime rallies as “making history,” while U.S. generals quietly press President Trump to delay any potential strikes on Iran until American forces can better fortify their positions and prepare for possible regional blowback.
