The news from Musk confirms what Ellie in Space (@esherifftv) shared two days ago.
Yesterday, SpaceX launched 52 more Starlink satellites into low-Earth orbit, growing the company’s satellite internet constellation.
SpaceX has activated Starlink internet in Iran. Karim Sadjadpour, senior fellow at Carnegie Endowment, said he spoke with Musk about Starlink in Iran. Musk said, “Starlink is now activated in Iran. It requires the use of terminals in-country, which I suspect the [Iranian] government will not support, but if anyone can get terminals into Iran, they will work.”
