U.S. Secretly Delivered Starlink to Iranian Protesters
Liberty Check
- Over 6,000 Starlink terminals entered Iran to bypass the regime’s internet censorship following a deadly crackdown.
- The State Department used funds from existing internet-freedom efforts to facilitate the shipment.
- Ownership of Starlink remains illegal in Iran, with citizens facing prison for daring to connect to the outside world.
The Trump administration covertly delivered thousands of Starlink systems to Iran after the regime’s violent suppression of protests, empowering dissidents to defy state-imposed internet blackouts.
This direct action marked a major U.S. effort to break the information stranglehold of Iran’s authoritarian government and support the rights of everyday Iranians seeking freedom.
Washington remains locked in tense negotiations over Tehran’s nuclear ambitions, with Trump warning of military action if talks collapse.
He encouraged protesters, vowing.
“help is on its way,”
and urging them to
“TAKE OVER YOUR INSTITUTIONS.”
Quoting Trump:
“Save the names of the killers and abusers. They will pay a big price.”
As liberty faces grave threats abroad and censorship spreads, Americans must stay informed.
Stand up for free speech, limited government, and the rights of individuals to challenge tyranny.
The Constitution must be defended.
