Exclusive: Obtained Starlink terminal debug data from Iran during the ongoing internet shutdown.
The telemetry shows direct evidence of GPS spoofing: the dish detected 18 GPS satellites with valid signal lock, but activated its anti-spoofing countermeasures (inhibitGps: true). This isn't simple jamming; the government appears to be broadcasting fake GPS signals to confuse terminals.
The impact: 20%+ sustained packet loss, connection never stabilized after 24 minutes, bandwidth restricted, and beam pointing ~1° off target. Starlink stayed online but was barely usable.
The anti-spoofing detection works, but SpaceX's fallback positioning can't currently maintain normal performance under electronic warfare.
First documented technical evidence of state-level GPS spoofing against consumer satellite internet.
