Tehran, Iran - January 12, 2026 Iranian authorities have reportedly jammed access to Starlink satellite internet services as part of broader efforts to suppress communication during nationwide protests, according to cybersecurity analysts and monitoring groups. Military-grade jamming equipment has disrupted uplink and downlink connections to Starlink terminals, with interference levels rising sharply as the government maintained a near-total internet blackout across the country amid escalating demonstrations. Meanwhile, protesters gathered in the Punak area near Boostan Shopping Center in Tehran, chanting slogans and calling for regime change as part of continuing demonstrations. The unrest persists despite security deployments and efforts to limit information flow online.
