Israel smuggled Starlink systems into Iran, former PM says
Bennett said the receivers would let protesters keep internet access and coordinate during unrest, as Iran has shut down online services in past protests.
- Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett revealed at the JNS International Policy Summit that Israel smuggled Starlink satellite internet receivers into Iran to support anti-government protesters.
- The clandestine initiative sought to ensure internet continuity for Iranians, aiming to enable protesters to coordinate their activities and ultimately topple the government.
- Criticizing the current administration, Bennett said, "Unfortunately, the current incompetent Israeli government stopped doing that," leaving vital infrastructure unavailable during recent unrest.
- Netanyahu's office refused to respond to Bennett's remarks, and SpaceX remained unavailable for comment outside standard business hours.
- Iran has previously accused Israel and the United States of smuggling devices to undermine security, though Starlink remains unlicensed there despite reports of active service.
