Iran jammed Starlink, which was thought to be impossible. Rumors say that it’s Russian technology. This may have cut the chaos monkeys off from their handlers.

I'm sure they jammed some big cities but I doubt they jammed it nationwide. Jammers are usually area specific and they don't go extremely far. Unless Iran completely packed with anti-starlink jammers there must be some working starlinks. Iran is yuge.

Through the magic of talking out my ass, perhaps it really is possible to block virtually all of Iran. By pointing the jammers directly at the satellites as they fly by, flooding them with noise.

it's testament to the american propaganda machine that this action is leveraged to bolster consent manufacturing effectively.
