TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran said on Monday it was ready to help fellow Muslim states launch satellites into orbit after it successfully put a dummy satellite into orbit -- a move that may increase Western suspicions over its atomic ambitions. ADVERTISEMENT
Iran said on Sunday it had put the home-grown dummy satellite into orbit on a domestically made rocket for the first time. The long-range ballistic technology used to put satellites into space can also be used for launching weapons.
Iran says has no intention to do so.

Orbiting a satellite = landing a nuke anywhere on the planet.
If you can put a satellite into orbit you’re most of the way to being able to launch, oh, I don’t know, ICBMs, right?
"One of these days Iran, boom, pow, straight to the moon!"
Yep. Sounds right to me. Sure didnt see this on any MSM in the good ole USA.
Or EMP-ing anywhere on the planet

Whew...I feel better now. For a minute there I thought maybe they were spending billions to get a missile delivery system.
Just more justification for placing defensive ABM system in Poland. Up yours PUTIN!!!!
That’s real fitting since these clowns worship this moon ‘god’ they call allah.
Perhaps Iran is the beneficiary of some other country's technology - say like Russia or China? I'm so happy that Obama wants to be President so everyone can 'feel' better. Why don't I?

look forislamic riots, reuters called muslim countries “dummy” (dhimmy ?)
China kept having the “kaboom” problem on their orbital attempts,
until Bill Clinton sold them the technology in exchange for campaign donations.
Obama would undoubtedly do the same, in order to show the Iranians that “we mean them no harm”.
Somebody needs to tell the Iranian’s you can’t Photoshop a satellite into orbit.
And there are still idiots out there who say that America doesn’t need missile defense!
Orbiting Jihad?....frick’n lovely!
Awww at first I thought that headline said “Iran ready to put muslim countries into orbit”. I was about to say, that makes two of us.
