Latest update: Trump indicated he's directly connecting with Elon Musk to discuss potential Starlink deployment amid Iran's ongoing internet blackout—now stretching beyond 72 hours.



When asked if Starlink could be deployed to restore connectivity for Iranian citizens, Trump's response suggested the administration is actively considering the possibility. "We're going to be talking about that. We may get the Internet," he stated, hinting at potential action.

This moves the conversation beyond typical diplomatic channels. The proposal highlights how satellite-based internet infrastructure like Starlink is increasingly viewed as a geopolitical tool—capable of bypassing centralized censorship and providing uninterrupted connectivity regardless of government restrictions.

For the Web3 and decentralized internet community, this scenario underscores a key narrative: the infrastructure shift toward distributed networks and off-world connectivity could reshape how information flows globally, particularly in regions facing connectivity restrictions.

Hmm... Is Starlink a geopolitical tool? This game theory structure is interesting. Let's wait and see if arbitrage opportunities will emerge on the chain.

Starlink entering Iran? This is a bit uncertain... Does Elon really dare to take this order?

Elon and Trump team up to build satellite networks, now there's a new weapon for freedom of speech. --- Starlink is really becoming a new pawn in geopolitical games, quite interesting. --- The era of off-chain networks is coming; centralized censorship is coming to an end? --- What does Iran's internet shutdown tell us? We still need to rely on distributed systems, brother. --- Satellite networks are truly the future; whoever controls the orbit holds the voice. --- This is the problem Web3 needs to solve; no wonder everyone is investing in distributed infrastructure.

Is Starlink really coming to Iran? If it happens, decentralized networks will truly no longer be just a dream... Elon Musk is up to something again.
