IRGC spokesman Muhibbi said the conflict's impact could spill beyond Iran and potentially affect other countries' fates.

Ukraine's defense ministry said monitoring data show Starlink and Starshield satellite communications have recovered functionality, with terminals maintaining stable links at speeds above 400 km/h. The ministry said the restoration will support frontline mobility, drone missions, military logistics and battlefield communications. It will continue to track both systems and run higher-speed tests to determine maximum operational speed and fully assess the level of communications recovery.

Ukraine, the U.S. and SpaceX have offered conflicting accounts over use of a military-grade Starlink system in Ukraine. Ukrainian President Zelenskiy said Ukrainian forces were rate-limited and service has not been fully restored. Trump said he was unaware and that limits have been lifted. Responsibility appears to be falling on SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, though Musk has said the military-grade Starlink used by Ukraine is owned and controlled by the U.S. government and that any restrictions on speed or use are set by the U.S. military and ultimately depend on the U.S. president.
