NEARLY 100 Starlink internet terminals are currently operating in Iran, SpaceX chief Elon Musk said Monday. 

The tycoon had promised to bring the satellite internet network to the country in September as Iranian authorities imposed increasingly severe access restrictions, in a move activists called a campaign to limit information about protests that had broken out nationwide. 

Starlink, operated by SpaceX, provides satellite internet access coverage to 45 countries.

“Approaching 100 Starlinks active in Iran,” Musk tweeted Monday. – AFP, December 27, 2022.
