Didn’t Iran just launch a sattelite last week ?

Maybe we just punched it lights out.

Geez, I’d love that, even if it remains “classified information”.

One of the best ways to destabilize a rogue missile system is to simply launch a large barrel of finishing nails into orbit (500 to 600 miles up) and blow it up.

In short order those nails would create a virtually inpenetrable "debris field" all around the planet.

Not that you couldn't get a missile through the field, you'd need certain advanced pieces of equipment to do the job right ~ the kind of equipment the North Koreans, Chinese, Pakistanis, Indians, Iranians, and so on don't have!

So, let's say they laugh at the barrel of nails thing ~ next best deal would be to smack an old Russian communications satellite with an old American communications satellite.
