> Only very few people in Iran have Starlink dishes.

Couple of sources I read talk about 40k+ dishes in Iran

Granted, that's not much at the scale of a country of 90M+ people, but still, if the numbers are correct, that's not nothing and that's why we're getting videos of the riots outside of Iran.

The sad thing is Starlink dishes (mobile or even worse, fixed) are super easy to radio-triangulate and are quickly being taken down.

[EDIT]: and the mullahs have just officially announced that anyone caught using one will be jailed (which was obvious, but not yet official).

They're only easy to triangulate from above. They're highly directional. I'd say in Tehran that would be a major issue but out in the desert it's unlikely someone is watching.
