Satellite internet services are raising concerns among Iranian authorities, who warn they could undermine the country’s ability to enforce online restrictions amid heightened tensions with the US and Israel.

The potential shift could challenge Iran’s existing cyber policies, particularly if foreign providers operate beyond its jurisdiction. Critics suggest the move risks weakening state control over information flows at a critical time.
