At first I was confused but it now makes sense.

First: Iran, a month ago, had a fairly robust internet system, actually connected to the global grid.

Then: the war began and Iran shut down / blocked the internet for "everyday" Iranians.

  • the engineers for that internet functionality resided in a telecom complex sited in Hamadan
  • Iran was blocking Elon Musk's Starlink

Today: Israel destroys that telecom complex sited in Hamadan

Now, everyday Iranians can access the Internet via Elon Musk's Starlink.

All of a sudden the internet is working better for the average Iranian.

We're going to start seeing videos come out of Iran.
