Israel smuggled Starlink internet receivers into Iran to help anti-government protesters, former prime minister Naftali Bennett said on Tuesday.

However, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government failed to follow through on the plans, Bennett added.

Bennett told an audience at the JNS International Policy Summit in Jerusalem that he had initiated a "process of acquiring and smuggling into Iran tens of thousands of Starlink receptors that would allow continuity of the internet and social networks."

Starlink, owned by Elon Musk's SpaceX, provides satellite internet connections. Iran has previously accused Israel and the United States of smuggling in the devices to undermine its security. Starlink is not licensed to operate in Iran, but Musk has previously said the service is active there.
