US Smuggled Thousands Of Starlink Terminals Into Iran To Fuel Riots

February 14, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , ,
Washington covertly sent 6,000 Starlink terminals to Iran to help protesters and rioters communicate during internet shutdowns, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported on 13 February, citing US officials. The US State Department had purchased about 7,000 of the satellite terminals for use in Iran in the months preceding the protests that erupted in January after the Iranian currency collapsed. US Treasury officials manufactured the collapse of the rial by choking off the supply of US dollars into the Iranian economy. Mossad-backed rioters and armed gangs carried out a wave of attacks against protesters, security forces, government buildings, and mosques in an effort to sow chaos.

Iranian Intelligence Seizes US-Made Weapons, Explosives

January 14, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , ,
Iranian intelligence has announced the seizure of guns, ammunition, and over 200 kilograms of explosives from foreign-backed cells that participated in the instigation of riots across the country. Many of these arms are US-built weapons that were seized from “militants” who had hidden them in homes across Iran, the Intelligence Ministry said on 13 January. State television also reported that several “terrorist groups” linked to Israel were detained in the southeastern city of Zahedan. According to Sepah News, armed groups linked to Israel – which recently infiltrated Iran through its eastern borders – were dismantled in a joint operation by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) ground force, police, and intelligence forces in Zahedan.

How Elon Musk Is Powering A Covert Campaign Against Iran

July 3, 2025 Alan MacLeod, MintPress News. , , , , , ,
By actively partnering with the U.S. government to smuggle communications hardware into Iran, Elon Musk is once again aiding Washington’s attempts at regime change. This fits into a long pattern of both American efforts to dislodge the government in Tehran and Musk’s close collaboration with the U.S. national security state, helping it to achieve its objectives around the world. For decades, Washington has sought to overthrow the government in Tehran. Today, its most important ally in that effort may not be in the CIA or Pentagon, but in Silicon Valley. Elon Musk, through his Starlink satellite system, is now helping to smuggle thousands of communication terminals into Iran, enabling opposition networks to evade government restrictions and coordinate in secret.
