Musk said, \"approaching 100 starlinks active in Iran\", in a tweet on Monday.
In September, the billionaire said he would activate Starlink in Iran as part of a U.S.-backed effort \"to advance internet freedom and the free flow of information\" to Iranians.
The satellite-based broadband service<\/a> could help Iranians circumvent the government's restrictions on accessing the internet and certain social media platforms<\/a> amid protests around the country.
The Islamic Republic has been engulfed in protests that erupted after the death in September of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in police custody after being arrested by the morality police for wearing \"unsuitable attire\".
