Iran Triggers ‘Kill Switch’ To Jam Starlink Amid Protests, Was China Or Russia Involved?

The move comes amid an intense crackdown ordered by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, with reports suggesting that more than 500 people have been killed and thousands detained since protests began. The unrest, now spread across at least 280 locations, has been driven by economic hardship...

On January 8, the Iranian government imposed a near-total internet shutdown, plunging the country’s nearly 80 million people into digital isolation. As state-controlled networks went dark, protesters turned to Starlink, the satellite internet service owned by Elon Musk, to upload images and videos of the demonstrations.

Starlink had played a similar role during the 2022 Mahsa Amini protests, and its presence in Iran has since grown. Recent estimates suggest that between 40,000 and 50,000 users inside the country were accessing uncensored internet via the service, despite it being officially banned.

However, that window appears to have closed. According to Iran Wire, around 30 per cent of Starlink’s uplink and downlink traffic was initially disrupted, before the outage intensified to more than 80 per cent within hours.
Experts believe the disruption is not a routine internet block but the result of advanced electronic warfare. According to an India Today report quoting specialists, Iran has deployed expensive, military-grade jamming equipment to interfere with Starlink’s satellite links.

“This kind of interference is caused by military equipment known as jammers,” Rashidi said, adding that he had “never witnessed anything like this” in over 20 years of research. He noted that the technology involved was highly sophisticated and likely obtained from Russia or China, unless developed domestically.

So let's get this right Paddy. OTOH, the west including Little Britain is supporting the ordinary Iranian citizens in their struggle against the regime & on the other hand you're perfectly comfortable with Paxtan sending Shi'a mobs across to murder those unarmed innocent civilians .

What's more this is exactly out of the playbook of Paxtan when they hosted NATO troops fighting in Afghanistan, were a conduit for supplies, were also a beneficiary of Western largesse running into billions of USD ( Paxtan received some 30 billion USD of Western aid) & also hosted & armed the Talibunnies.

It's called running with the hare & hunting with the hound in case you're unfamiliar with English idioms & turn of phrase given English is your second language .

Yet that didn't prevent Little Britain from arguing Paxtan's case before the Trump administration & before that Irish Joe's administration.

I'd put this love of Paxtan down to the age old British love of buggery & cuckoldery. I mean after all that's the reason you have these Paxtani grooming gangs in Little Britain ravishing underaged girls in their thousands since decades with little or no action against them.
