    Brings to mind: could these terminals be captured by the Iranian authorities and used to benefit the Iranian military in the event of war, much like Russia was/is doing with bootleg starlink terminals ?

      Starlink could disable/blacklist the terminals remotely, assuming the have knowledge if they're no longer in the hands of friendly actors. Could they be used in rouge fashion until that is known? Certainly. Each terminal reports its position, so geolocation and geofencing are potential signal in this decisioning.
