Iran: man arrested for using Starlink is tortured to death
Iran International ^ | May 1 2026 | Iran Internatonal

In a nutshell: His brother was wounded during the January uprisings. He went to visit his brother at the hospital, but the IRGC confiscated his electronics.

When he went back to retrieve his electronics, IRGC took him to his home, where they found out he had a Starlink device. He was severely beaten, and a few days later his body was released to his family.

At less than 20% popular support, the IRGC rules only via fear. It is busy executing and killing Iranians

So 465,000 Iranians support the current regime (20% of 93 million population).

All the others are apparently living in quiet fear after 30 or 40,000 were massacred, some from automatic weapons and rifles from the rooftops onto the streets where they were marching.

A nightmare life. Now they are apparently bartering in place of wildly inflated money.

465,000 is 0.5% of 93,000,000. That’s 1 out of every 200 people.

The minority rules because they are the ones armed... It should not be that way, but it often is.

I wonder if Israel is smuggling in small arms for those willing to fight?

Iran will never be at peace until the IRGC is completely trashed.

Thank you.

To all: Please correct this and any reference I make to math or numbers. That section of my brain is empty like an abandoned, drafty old house in a Stephen King movie.

Actually, it’s 4.6 million who support the regime. But many are merely in it for the money and special privileges. I cannot estimate what percent will fight to death for this regime. But it is a far, far smaller portion.

No kings! Restrict civilian gun ownership! Death to tyrants! Restrict civilian gun ownership!

I often wonder why no one asks democrats if they are glad the civilian populace of Iran is disarmed because it makes them so much safer.
