CIA‑founded NGO admits deploying Starlink satellites in Iran amid riots (www.presstv.ir)

The US-based National Endowment for Democracy (NED) deployed around 200 Starlink devices in Iran during recent riots, NED president Damon Wilson has revealed at a congressional hearing, before representatives cut him off, saying the topic shouldn’t be discussed.
Wilson said Tuesday NED “began supporting the deployment [and] operation of about 200 Starlinks early on” amid the riots, but Representative Lois Frankel interrupted him, saying, “You know what, I am going to interrupt you, we better not talk about it.”
Founded by the CIA, NED claims to support political and civil society initiatives abroad. Wilson also said the organization helped shape media coverage of Mahsa Amini’s death in Tehran in September 2022, which sparked foreign-backed riots in Iran...
The NED president further detailed collaborations with NGOs and media networks, saying the organization had amplified stories blaming the Iranian government for mismanaging resources like water in Tehran.
The protests that erupted in early January 2026 were initially peaceful over economic grievances, including currency devaluation, but escalated into violent riots when foreign-backed actors intervened.
