For the first time, the Islamic Republic has blocked access to Starlink satellite internet by employing military jammers. This action, termed a new 'cut-off key', has extended the scope of communication disruptions beyond domestic internet, targeting the alternative communication options of protesters and anti-government activists. Reports indicate that this unprecedented action has seriously altered the equations of emergency internet access.

According to this report, despite the presence of tens of thousands of Starlink receivers within Iran, disruptions have also affected satellite communications, initially disrupting about 30 percent of Starlink traffic, which increased to over 80 percent within a few hours.

'Times of Israel' also reported that the number of Starlink receivers in Iran has significantly increased compared to previous outages, although the Iranian government has never recognized the operation of this service and has declared its maintenance and use illegal. The report added that disruptions in GPS signals, particularly following the 12-day conflict with Israel last June, have caused localized and inconsistent outages in Starlink connectivity.
