Mohammad Amin Aghamiri, Secretary of the Supreme Council and the National Center for Cyberspace, recently addressed the issue of military use of satellite internet, stating: "Whenever a tool is used in the battlefield, it is considered a military tool." These remarks come at a time when new technologies are increasingly being used in war zones and military operations.
The Necessity of Strong Management of New Technologies
Aghamiri continued, saying: "The instrumental use of satellite internet for military and espionage operations, disregarding the sovereign laws of countries, has made strong management and counteraction against this technology a vital necessity for national security." These statements clearly reflect deep concerns about the negative impacts of unauthorized and illegal use of new technologies on the security of nations.

Challenges Arising from New Technologies
New technologies such as satellite internet provide extensive capabilities for fast and effective communications, but they can also be misused as tools for espionage and military operations. Aghamiri pointed out that different countries need to pay closer attention to this issue and establish the necessary legal and managerial mechanisms to prevent potential abuses.
These concerns have intensified, especially in the current situation where international tensions and military competitions have increased, prompting various countries to reconsider laws and regulations regarding the use of new technologies.
Aghamiri added: "In the present age, cybersecurity and the protection of national sovereignty have become one of the main challenges for governments, and it is necessary for countries to achieve international cooperation and a common legal basis to counter new threats."
It seems that these developments require more attention from relevant institutions in different countries to prevent crises and security threats while also leveraging technological advancements for their national security.
