Iran: Launches military satellite into low level orbit.

(Tehran) Iran yesterday used the turmoil across the world over COVID 19 in which to avoid overt criticism over how it took another step in refining its long range ballistic missile technology when it used a mobile launcher as the base plate to launch into a low level earth orbit a picosatellite from the grounds of an IRGC base near the city of Shahroud about 100 miles away from the Imam Khomeini Spaceport, presumably to allow them to avoid the attention they received last August when their last attempt to launch a missile into space blew up on the pad and the same thing transpired

Well thankfully for the Mullahs, their pocket rocket didn't blew up in their face this time and they claim to have inserted a military satellite into a low earth orbit (250 miles)

#BREAKING: This footage shows launch of the Qased SLV from #Shahroud. Qased which has Noor satellite inside is a long range ballistic missile with 3 stages. The first stage is liquid fueled while the 2nd & 3rd are solid fueled. This MRBM is designed & developed by #IRGCASF's SSJ. pic.twitter.com/FKqaQ2RZM7

The problem we have here is whilst Iran is happy to inform the world that it is only developing technologies in which to allow it to benefit its people, the fact remains it is but a cover for it to develop its ballistic missile program which has surreptitious excused by looking at the US and Israel ,which the liberals in Europe and the Islamic street are happy with, but in all reality it is simply a means for the Mullahs to achieve hegemony of the region allowing it do as it pleases. As I mentioned the liberal EU is happy as long as Iran claims it is looking at the US and Israel, in the hope that Iran will open up for business once Trump is gone but when Iran does get that bomb expect it to start dictating to the rest of the world how things will be in future.
