BlockBeats News, February 13th, according to The Wall Street Journal, after the Iranian government shut down the country's internet in January, the Trump administration secretly smuggled 6,000 Starlink satellite terminals to Iran to ensure that internal dissidents could continue to access the internet.

The U.S. had previously purchased nearly 7,000 Starlink terminals, and Trump was aware of the delivery of these terminals, but it is unclear whether he personally approved these purchases. In Iran, it is illegal to possess Starlink devices, but thousands of Iranians use them to bypass censorship. Trump had publicly encouraged Iranians to protest, promising "support is on the way." The White House is currently refusing to comment on this.
