U.S. Smuggled Thousands of Starlink Terminals into Iran
(Wall Street Journal) Alexander Ward - The Trump administration covertly sent 6,000 satellite-internet Starlink terminals into Iran after the regime's brutal crackdown on demonstrations last month, U.S. officials said, in an effort to keep dissidents online.
