How likely is it that those "protestors" are US and Israel propped and the plan is to do another regime change via this route? Isn't this "son of the late Shah" a guy from the US?

The article seems quite speculative. I'm sure the Iranian regime would live to jam starlink, but i don't think we have any ability to know what is actually happening here. The article claims 80% packetloss. That's still 1 in 5 packets getting through. That is annoying but not going to stop information getting out. I also wonder, if all other coms are cut off, is it possible star link in the country is just overloaded…
In my experience 80% packet loss makes most common protocols basically unusable. Yes you can still get data out...but many apps will just fail due to timeouts and other things.

Matrix published a proof of concept a few years ago of an alternative transport layer designed to work over connections with a few hundred bits per second, and massive packet loss, while still providing E2EE: https://matrix.org/blog/2019/03/12/breaking-the-100bps-barri...

Also, if the US wanted to do a regime change, they'd just move in militarily a la Venezuela and Trump would be talking about it non-stop. He's not the subtle type, I promise. We'd already know if they were involved.
Which governments are referred to as "regimes" is usually propaganda about how you should feel about them. Consider: all articles written about US using the words "The US regime".

The only way to believe this is if you're a Westerner being fed a purely US-centric media diet. Otherwise you'd know all the ways that the Iranian government has been failing their people recently and for a long time now, and how unhappy Iranians are with their government. You people act like people can't be upset at how they're being treated by their own government without being incited by an external actor. That's…
