Iraq media regulator warns no authorized Starlink representatives exist in the country

BAGHDAD, Iraq — Iraq's Media and Communications Commission said no official representative or authorized dealer for Starlink operates in the country, and warned that any claims to the contrary amount to consumer fraud. In a written statement, the regulator said individuals or entities presenting themselves as the "sole authorized" representative of the company are misleading consumers and would face legal liability. Any future announcement of representation or dealership for Starlink in Iraq will be made only through the official channels of the commission and the company once required procedures are completed, it added. The commission urged consumers and public institutions not to engage with any party claiming to officially represent Starlink. It directed those needing verification to consult the regulator's official sources.
