Dear @elonmusk and @Starlink team,
Iranians have now endured more than 400 hours of deliberate internet blackout, leaving millions isolated without evacuation alerts, family contact, or access to vital information amid this profound crisis.
Activating Direct to Cell service over Iran would provide an essential lifeline and reaffirm the right to free communication for our people or anything else that could help Iranians reconnect to the internet.
Please make it happen to save lives.

#DigitalBlackOutIran
Iran is in a digital blackout.
Internet is cut. Phone calls from abroad barely connect. Families are desperate just to hear each other.
Every blackout in Iran hides something darker than the one before.

When a government shuts down the internet, its goal is to hide violence and control the narrative.
The world must respond: satellite internet, anti-censorship tools, and free access to communications for the people of Iran.

In recent days, IR security forces have been deploying signal scanners in patrol vehicles to track Starlink Kits in Iran, detecting radio emissions to pinpoint users. It is said that dozens of people have been detained in cities like Tehran & Kermanshah.

This is disgusting to watch!
Host: You're on Zoom. Iranians have no free internet… but you do. Why?
Araghchi: Because I’m the voice of the Iranian people!
If you were their voice, you wouldn't have shut down the internet to massacre 35,000+ Iranians just for rejecting this regime two months ago, you barbaric coward.
“Because I’m the voice of the Islamist minority in Iran, and I have to defend my dying regime… Internet is closed because we don’t represent the vast freedom-loving majority of Iranians. If we didn’t shut it down, the world would see the truth, even in wartime”
Fixed it for you

⚠️ Update: #Iran's internet blackout has entered day 16 as the measure continues in its third week, with the public cut off from international networks for 360 hours. Chosen influencers enjoy whitelisting while state media report a new wave of arrests targeting Starlink users.
