Iranian authorities have pledged to continue their crackdown against Starlink satellite internet service and impose further restrictions on global internet access, describing Starlink as a "tool of war" for enemies. Mohammad Amin Aghamiri, secretary of the Supreme National Cyberspace Council, stated that Iran has deployed systems to block Starlink terminals and is prepared to share this technology with allied countries. Deputy Technology Minister Mohammad Hafez Hakami warned that widespread Starlink use could "be the last nail in the coffin of the [cyberspace] governance" of Iran. Government spokesperson Fatemeh Mohajerani also confirmed on Tuesday that state bodies deliberately disrupt internet speeds to protect national assets. Iran has set severe penalties, including fines and imprisonment, for using or possessing Starlink devices, and has pursued the issue at the International Telecommunication Union, summoning the Norwegian ambassador on October 4 to protest unauthorized Starlink operations.
