[Trump Administration Secretly Smuggled 6,000 Starlink Satellite Terminals into Iran] BlockBeats News, February 13: According to a report by *The Wall Street Journal*, after the Iranian government cut off the country's internet in January, the Trump administration secretly smuggled 6,000 Starlink satellite terminals into Iran to ensure that dissenting voices within the country could continue to access the internet. The U.S. had previously purchased nearly 7,000 Starlink terminals. Trump was aware of the delivery of these terminals, but it remains unclear whether he personally approved the procurement. In Iran, owning Starlink equipment is illegal, yet tens of thousands of Iranians have used it to bypass censorship. Trump had publicly encouraged Iranians to protest and promised that "help is on the way." The White House has so far declined to comment on the matter.
