.SpaceX to seek Iran sanctions exemption to provide Starlink internet amid protests
The announcement arrived on Monday amid protests in Iran over a woman who died in Iranian police custody. The country's internet went down immediately, leading some to request that Musk send his satellite-based internet network to the country.
"Starlink will ask for an exemption to Iranian sanctions in this regard," Musk said in response to a tweet from Persian researcher and journalist Erfan Kasraie.The announcement comes after the Iranian government shut down the local internet. Network data in Iran showed a"near-total disruption" in the capital of the Kurdistan province, according to NetBlocks.
Iranians have protested in Tehran for three straight days after 22-year-old Mahsa Amini died at the hands of Iranian authorities. At least five people have been killed amid the protests in Kurdistan, according to Deutsche-Welles. The protests erupted on Saturday, when Amini was buried at her home, leading several residents to smash windows, followed by police making multiple arrests. Iran's president promised a full investigation into the incident.
