Musk recently said his company would request an exception from sanctions against Iran to provide Starlink satellite broadband service in the country.

The move was taken by Musk because previously the Iranian government had turned off all internet services in his country due to the death of a woman who went viral in the world.

Musk then made a statement via his tweet on Twitter at a time of widespread protests in Iran. Several people on Twitter asked Musk to provide the country's satellite-based internet station.

Musk had previously succeeded in bringing Starlink to Ukraine in the early Russian invasion, the action then reaped a lot of praise from the world community for providing and initiating a free internet network. Furthermore, we have to wait and see if he manages to bring the service to Iran or not.
