Billionaire Elon Musk announced on social media platform X that he has activated the Starlink satellite communications system in Iran after Tehran cut off internet access to citizens in the wake of Israeli strikes against its nuclear program early Friday morning.
“The beams are on,” he wrote on Saturday morning.
In a statement, the Iranian Communications Ministry on Friday said that due to the situation “temporary restrictions have been imposed on the country’s internet,” in effect blocking Iranians from accessing outside news sources during the conflict between Tehran and Jerusalem.
