Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) claimed today that it launched a satellite into orbit. The satellite was launched with a rocket built by the IRG. Western intelligence officials fear that it’s another step forward in Iran’s ballistic missile program, which could eventually be used to launch nuclear weapons. Meanwhile, a new report out of the region says that Hezbollah is facing an “existential” war against Israel. When will the Great Northern War begin? Watch now!

“Hezbollah is facing an “existential” war”
They poked the wrong bear.
It seems that they’re about to find that out the hard way
What is the altitude of the satellite, and what is its flight path relative to the ground?
Is it at, say, 250 miles high and traveling over the West Coast or the East Coast of the US?
I thought Erik said the altitude was 340 miles - I assume it’s an equatorial inclination but I’m not certain
I’ll have to watch the video again or at least let it roll to be sure
The satellite looks pretty crude by our standards, of course
ES seems to think the most significant part of the story is the fact that the solid booster rocket could be later used for an ICBM warhead ....... I’d have to find out more about the rocket
GREATLY APPRECIATE your consistent work in His vineyard =:^)
Thank you - I’d be off doing other stuff but I’m not allowed to do much else (yeah)
I’d say LOL but it’s more like ouch!
God bless
Yeah, 340 mile orbit he said (watched small part again)
Looks like it’s 6-sided (equilateral hexagon-sided from the top) with with multiple staring sensors (I think) maybe looking for launches - it’s it’s lucky enough to be over the assumed launch point(s).
I can’t quite tell but it looks like it may have an additional camera on top to verify orientation(?)
It’s pretty crude looking - I don’t know if they’re using gyros to stabilize its orbit - this is some pretty tricky stuff to get right
The thing is that both sides of this conflict are in an existential war. But it seemed to me that the israelis are not the ones with the chip on their shoulder about having to live together in this region. So they started an existential war they didn’t have the juice to win? Doesnt add up for me. They’ve got assurances from someone.
Lebanon is counting on Iran. That would be my guess.
“Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) claimed today that it launched a satellite into orbit”
With a Nuclear EMP generator aboard or practicing for launching one?
HEZBOLLAH is counting on Iran. That would be my guess.
I didn’t express that properly.
And Iran is counting on a continuance of the money flow from the democrats criminal enterprises.
I’m old enough to remember the Sputnik launches and the subsequent US brouhaha, not to say, hysteria, over the “missile gap” that it supposedly demonstrated. My recollection is that we were told that if Russia, or the Soviet Union as then known, could launch a satellite into orbit, they could hit anywhere in the US with a nuclear warhead.
So where are the US government alarm bells ringing? Are they waiting until after the election? Or are there no bells because the US government thinks the Iranians are the good guys?
It was probably more a missile test is my guess.
However, if it’s got some launch detection capability, then maybe they’re a little worried about Israel?
An EMP would be a great way to disrupt things though ....
It will be interesting if we see where it flies. Or what they launch next.
They’ve probably got Democrats Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and Barack Obama on speed dial
We are living in interesting times /Captain Obvious
I believe sooner or later Israel will take out Iran’s nuclear capabilities and the beast way to do it is with an EMP.
