Iran is the biggest story in the world right now. Nothing else is close. This could be a modern day fall of the Berlin Wall moment. The ayatollah is on the ropes.



🇮🇷 IRAN’S INTERNET BLACKOUT CAN BE BYPASSED WITH STARLINK Activist Nariman Gharib called out Elon and Google's Sundar Pichai to flip the switch on Starlink Direct-to-Cell and Satellite SOS. He's got data from his VPN app (ArgoVPN) in December 2025 showing 15% of users, over 1M installs, already rocking Starlink-compatible devices. Top phones in Iran? Samsung Galaxy A32, A51, and A54x. All mid-range, affordable, and ready to connect. No fancy hardware needed; these LTE phones from the last few years just link up to satellites like space cell towers. With 90M folks cut off, this could let them bypass censorship and get help. Gharib's urging Trump and Sec Rubio too: American tech for freedom, no troops or cash required.
