those angry mullah’s catch you with a starlink antenna and they will take you into the street and drill holes in your kneecap till they tire of your screaming.

They need to be destroyed root and stem.

Whoever saw Iran state run tv getting bombed in real time got the message this is no joke.....looks like everybody was tuned in. 😏

[MayflowerMadam]

Good for him. The citizens will need this to recover from the tyrants’ rule, regroup, and become free again.

“those angry mullah’s catch you with a starlink antenna ... “

According to some reports last night, most of those mullahs have already beat cheeks out of the country.

[Ciaphas Cain]

Mullahs: "Pathetic people! Who is going to save you now?"

Music by Queen revs up

TRUMP! Ahhh-AHHHHH! He'll save every one of us!!

[Vaduz]

Yes thet are prisoners of the arab mafia that took over their land.
Newsmax had someone whos familys was from there and explained how they must obey or die.

[rrrod]

Go Elon!

[BlackbirdSST]

Not much good Elon if no earth stations there to connect

This has to be fake news, unless Musk is airdropping equipment.

[fuzzylogic]

Exactly. So what does that tell you? :)

It probably means either Israeli’s or the USA is inside Iran, needing connectivity.

[caww]

Thumbs up!

We are seeing cell phone pictures out of Tehran yet supposedly the regime has shut down Internet service in the country.

[TangoLimaSierra]

Fairly easy for the Israelis to just fly over and start dropping the hardware.

I agree, but that should have been a big part of the story.
They make it sound like everyone will have their internet back instantly.

[caww]

Since Israel smuggled in missiles etc. I doubt it would be difficult for Elons stuff to get in....likely already there as Israel always looks ahead in what to expect from Iran. Irans big at cutting off the people from the news.

He has been working for a way for smart phones to connect directly with Starlink™

IF ANYONE COULD DEVISE A “WORKAROUND”—ELON & HIS WIZARDS CAN DO THAT

[Teacher317]

Israel has full air superiority. Make air drops to every small and medium and large population center. Package the units carefully of course, hopefully make the units as shock resistant as possible.

[cgbg]

Good post.

The military is always well ahead of what is publicly available—so they may have found a way to connect to cell phones in use in Iran with no special software.

If he decided to help Israel, the Gateway Pundit likely would describe that as a negative.

How would you turn on star link if you do not have a receiver to communicate with the satellites?
