SpaceX founder Elon Musk, through his social media platform X, has derided allegations of Iran being a warmonger. He ridiculed the American authorities' assertion by posting an image of several US military bases surrounding Iran's borders on his platform.

In a sarcastic tone, he commented that one should observe how Iranians conveniently placed their country near US military bases.

Iranian officials have consistently emphasized their opposition to war anywhere in the world. Meanwhile, at least 45 cargo planes transporting weapons from the US to "Israel" have been confirmed to have been received by the Israeli occupation forces, according to information released by the Israeli Security Ministry.

Among the military aid sent were "around 1,000 tons of armaments," military vehicles and supplies, medical equipment, and military ambulances, according to a post on X.

Earlier today, Entrepreneur Elon Musk declared that his satellite-based network Starlink will provide connectivity to internationally recognized humanitarian organizations in Gaza.

“It is not clear who has authority for ground links in Gaza, but do we know that no terminal has requested a connection in that area,” Musk said on X.

“No terminals from Gaza have attempted to communicate with our constellation,” he added in another post.

His remarks followed calls from social media users urging him to utilize Starlink to offer internet access to Gaza, as "Israel" had bombed all telecommunications towers.

After the Israeli occupation completely cut off communications and Internet from the Gaza Strip, '#StarlinkforGaza' trended on 'X" as activists on social media urged Elon Musk to activate #Starlink over the Strip just as he did for #Ukraine.#GazaUnderAttack#Gaza#Palestine pic.twitter.com/6JAGvmFh8V

— Al Mayadeen English (@MayadeenEnglish) October 27, 2023

This coincides with the unprecedented Israeli bombing of the Strip and deliberate strikes that cut off communication networks in Gaza, while occupation forces are attempting to launch limited ground incursions into the Strip, and failing repeatedly.
