I'm reading here:

As Starlink’s user base grows, the Iranian government is likely to intensify efforts to restrict satellite internet access.

How could they do so?

You still have to have the equipment to transmit to the satelites. Getting the equipment in the country will need to go through customs. And if they check the package, they will confiscate it (and possibly fine you, or jail you).

Example: The US passed two different laws that were signed into law, in order to stop the sale of DJI drones because of "National Security". DJI drone imports are getting stopped at customs.

I mean, its not illegal for Americans to buy DJI drones (as of writing this comment), I don't think they have technically banned the sales yet, but they are already trying to stop DJI drones from entering the country, customs are confiscating it / sending it back. (You can still buy them from resellers in the US if they have old stock, or if they somehow got the new stock in)
