100 Starlink satellites provide internet to Iran: Elon Musk
ANKARA (AA) – Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX and Twitter, has said that about 100 Starlink satellites provide internet support in Iran.
“Approaching 100 Starlinks active in Iran,” the 51-year-old business magnate tweeted.
Earlier, Musk said he would deploy Starlink satellites to allow demonstrators to communicate in Iran, amid continuing protests that erupted after the death of young Mahsa Amini in police custody after she had failed to observe the required dress code.
Starlink, a satellite constellation operated by SpaceX, provides internet access with more than 3,300 mass-produced small satellites in low Earth orbit to 45 countries.
Months-long protests hit Iran following the death of Mahsa Amini, and are still sporadically going on.
