🎞 Satellite oversight; Iran’s advantage in managing the Strait of Hormuz ▪️ Satellite technology, both in navigation and imaging, is an indispensable need in military fields. Today, it is impossible to conduct effective military operations without relying on satellites. ▪️ The West insinuated that Iran intended to use space technology for military purposes and missile capabilities, whereas the reality was quite the opposite. ▪️ The main mission of martyr Taherani Moghadam was the development of space technology, not merely in the missile area. ▪️ In the 11th and 12th governments (Rouhani's government), space technology was practically suspended; it didn't matter whether it was military or civilian. In one case, a satellite was removed from its launch pad to prevent its launch. ▪️ The "Martyr Soleimani" satellite constellation is a fundamental need for the country’s military operations. If such a constellation were available to Iran along with a domestically similar regional system like GPS, the accuracy of hits would have changed since the "Vali-1" operation. This is precisely the issue that is unpleasant for Americans, as it significantly enhances Iran's operational capability against them. 🎤 Mehdi Bakhtiari, Director of Political and Security-Defense Affairs of Tasnim News Agency 🎤 Seyyed Mohammad Taheri, Military Desk Officer of Tasnim News War Interpretation Group
