HRANA – Tehran’s Greater Police Command announced the arrest of one individual in the Chitgar area of Tehran. Police claim that the person used Starlink satellite internet equipment to transfer information regarding impact locations during the recent military conflict to networks opposed to the government.

According to Rokna, the Information Center of Tehran’s Greater Police Command announced the arrest of one person. The statement claimed that the arrest followed reports of “suspicious movements” at the individual’s residence. Police stated that after conducting field investigations and identifying the suspect, officers arrested the individual during an operation.

According to police claims, a search of the citizen’s residence led to the seizure of several communication devices and a Starlink receiver. Authorities also alleged that during interrogations, the accused admitted to using the equipment for the “collection and transfer of information.”

The report did not mention the exact date of the arrest, the identity of the detainee, or their place of detention.

In recent months, amid continuing internet restrictions in Iran, multiple reports have emerged regarding judicial and security measures against users of Starlink satellite internet services. In some cases, the Islamic Republic’s security institutions have linked the use of such equipment to security-related accusations.
