🔺 Tehran Police Claims Arrest of Operator of an Unauthorized Satellite Network

▪ The Public Information Center of the Commander of Tehran’s Police Force announced that it had identified and dismantled a network that, using Starlink satellite equipment, created an unauthorized communications platform and transferred classified information.

▪ Based on this report, the defendant of the case “with the aim of making large profits” set up the network and, by providing services to “specific individuals,” provided a platform for content transmission, which the police described as “criminal and anti-security.”

▪ Tehran Police, in recent months, has repeatedly claimed to have discovered what it called a “spy network” via Starlink. In one of those cases in Farvardin, the police said that the suspects had sent information and images to foreign media 19 times.
