Iran's Parliament has enacted a sweeping ban on Elon Musk's Starlink satellite internet service, marking a significant escalation in the BRICS alliance's digital sovereignty agenda. The prohibition carries severe penalties including fines, corporal punishment, and imprisonment—a clear signal of Tehran's determination to control digital infrastructure.
