A senior Iranian ICT official said Tehran may cut electricity to block Starlink access during future crises, signaling intent to counter satellite-based internet as a tool for unrest. The statement is a policy signal, not an operational change, and reflects Iran's ongoing efforts to control information flows. Unclear if this is rhetoric or a planned capability.
