NY Post ^ | Jan. 28, 2024

Iran said Sunday it successfully launched three satellites into space, the latest for a program that the West says improves Tehran’s ballistic missiles.

The state-run IRNA news agency said the launch also saw the successful use of Iran’s Simorgh rocket, which has had multiple failures in the past.

The launch comes as heightened tensions grip the wider Middle East over Israel’s continued war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

Maybe we can contract the destruction of those satellites to China. Don’t they have a laser on their space platform?

so what. The western countries seem to thing the alone should the things Why shouldn’t the arm up against a hostile west that supplies weapons to their enemies in the hopes of creating conflict. The west meddles in election to install puppet government who then allow American companies into the country to grab natural resources.

Three satellites? I wonder if they’re carrying nukes. All they have to do is explode them in orbit over the US.

I gotta get that Faraday Cage built.

“ in what way?”

Okay, fine.

Iran was complicit in the bombing of the Marine barracks in Lebanon in 1983. Since that time they’ve supplied weapons, funds, and training which have been used to kill Americans in Iraq and Afghanistan. Their EFPs killed or maimed hundreds of Americans during Operation Enduring Freedom.

They’ve paid for the killings and kidnappings of Israelis and Americans on October 7th. They openly celebrate the murder of innocent men, women, and children and encourage more such attacks.

They’re openly working towards nuclear weapons which the promise will be used against not only Israel but Europe and America.

Their “proxies” are launching Iranian made missiles at commercial shipping in the Red Sea in blatant violation of international law.

How do you propose to deal with them?

you know I’ve started realize that maybe the government isn’t telling the who truth all the time. In fact, I’m starting to realize that maybe none of it is true. The government lies about everything and yet you believe it’s tell the truth now.

“I’m starting to realize that maybe none of it is true.”

I am pretty much 100% with you. Except in this case it’s Iran crowing about what they’re doing.

MEMRI does excellent work in this area and they’re not affiliated with the US government.

I’m sure they realize very clearly who makes “international” law” and who enforces it. If Iran can be blamed for their proxies, then the US can be blamed for its Ukraine proxies.

again so what? what’s really happening here is the rest is starting to catch up with the US in technology and the US fears other countries will start doing to the US what they have been doing for the last 30 years.

We needs to blind these satellites quietly and quickly. Time to put that pint sized “mystery” space plane to work.
