Iranian regime targeting Starlink users in bid to squash leaking protest footage
Share
Category: BEAST SYSTEM
Summary:
Iranian authorities are targeting users of Starlink, a satellite internet service, to prevent the sharing of protest footage amid an ongoing internet blackout during anti-regime demonstrations. Despite being illegal in Iran, thousands of Starlink terminals have been smuggled into the country, allowing some citizens to bypass restrictions and share images of the regime's crackdown. President Donald Trump has expressed plans to discuss increasing Starlink connectivity in Iran with SpaceX CEO Elon Musk. Since the protests began over economic issues and demands to end Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's regime, Iranian security forces have reportedly killed at least 646 protesters, with some reports citing up to 2,000 deaths.
Mysterion Insights
Scripture: Luke 12:2-3
"But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known. Accordingly, whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in the inner rooms will be proclaimed upon the housetops."
Commentary:
When oppressive regimes clamp down on communications, everyday people often turn to whatever channels remain to share and witness the truth. This risky defiance shows how technology can frustrate heavy-handed control, yet it comes at real personal cost. People on the ground feel the threat of surveillance in their daily lives, not just as an abstract idea. Scripture points to a time when all secrets, even those hidden by force, come to light. Tightening control and the drive to expose hidden deeds both mirror patterns of increasing global surveillance and resistance that biblical prophecy describes for the end of the age.
Prophetic Trend:
Efforts to conceal oppressive actions spark parallel efforts to reveal truth, accelerating global patterns of surveillance and technological resistance.
