[Former Israeli Prime Minister Publicly Admits: Secretly Smuggled Tens of Thousands of SpaceX Starlink Devices into Iran to Overthrow the Regime] BlockBeats News, June 24 — On June 23, Israeli opposition leader and former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett publicly admitted that during his tenure from 2021 to 2022, he had procured tens of thousands of SpaceX Starlink satellite receivers and secretly smuggled them into Iran to support anti-government protesters attempting to overthrow the Iranian regime. Bennett stated that the current Netanyahu administration has failed to continue this plan. This statement marks the first time an Israeli official has publicly confirmed such actions. Previously, Iran had repeatedly accused Israel and the United States of smuggling satellite equipment into its territory to undermine national security. Starlink has not obtained operational approval in Iran, but Elon Musk previously claimed that services are already available within the country. The report also revealed a broader picture of Israeli intelligence operations against Iran. Mossad has long used technological means to infiltrate Iran's internal surveillance and traffic cameras, combining AI technology and satellite imagery to construct intelligence mosaics. In the April 2026 Hezbollah pager explosion incident, Mossad had preemptively implanted micro-explosives in thousands of devices, resulting in the deaths of several mid-level commanders. In the same month, a large number of U.S.-made core communication devices within Iran collectively malfunctioned, forcing authorities to frequently implement international internet isolation. On the political front, Israel's next election is scheduled to take place no later than October this year, with Netanyahu's approval rating dropping from 40.5% in early March to 29.4%. Bennett stated that if he returns to power, he will focus on overthrowing the Iranian regime through economic sabotage and industrial disruption. [Original Link]
