The Russian satellite system would enable Iran to monitor more extensively activity in U.S. and Israeli bases in the region. To target them for missile strikes, if it was deemed necessary.
The New Arab – June 11, 2021
Russia is set to deliver an advanced satellite system to Iran that will vastly improve its spying capabilities, according to a US media report.
Moscow is preparing to give Iran a Kanopus-V satellite with a high-resolution camera, the Washington Post reported Thursday.
It will allow the Islamic republic to monitor facilities of its adversaries across the Middle East, the paper said, citing current and former US and Middle Eastern officials.
The report comes just days before Russian President Vladimir Putin meets his American counterpart Joe Biden for June 16 talks in Switzerland on the US leader’s first foreign tour.
It could add to a long list of grievances in Washington ahead of the talks, from election interference to hacking operations linked to the Russian government.
The officials said the launch of the satellite could happen within months, and is the result of multiple trips to Russia by leaders of Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards.
The satellite would be launched in Russia and contain Russian-made hardware, according to details shared by the officials.
While not of the capability of American satellites, Iran could “task” the new satellite with spying on specific locations.
There are fears that it would share such imagery with its proxies in Yemen, Iraq and Lebanon, one official said, among other concerns about Iran’s ballistic missile and drone development.
Russian trainers have helped ground crews who would operate the satellite from a new site near the northern Iranian city of Karaj, The Post reported.
The deal could allow Tehran greater monitoring of the Persian Gulf, Israeli bases and America’s troop presence in Iraq.
Details of the sale also come at a delicate time when world powers are meeting to bring the US back to the Iran nuclear deal and Tehran back into compliance with it.
The 2015 landmark accord has been hanging by a thread since the US left it in 2018 and re-imposed sanctions, leading to Tehran to step up its nuclear activities long curtailed by the deal.
So Iran is not clever with technology and needs the help of a White country. Of course it does.
Most Iranians are Aryans, that means that they are white, and I personally think that Iran doesn’t get the Kanopus-V from the Russians. Remember the case of the S300s? However I have no doubt that the Iranians are able to send an equivalent system into space.
Satellites? You mean those things that hang from balloons and people are lead to believe that they are in “space”? Whose “images” are taken from high altitude planes?
Ha bloody Ha !
That’s what happens when you continue to bully and threaten.
Iran was a relatively backward country. You forced them to modernize.
I can just see western women…burkhas and absolutely no rights and privilege. When your husband beats you up…so what…divorce and you leave everything and get lost with nothing…. Your husband is lord and master…
And so the whoring will stop…Simply because you threatened….
Iran has already made and launched it’s own multi-purpose military Satellite, it can do surveillance and guide Iran’s long range drones.

Good. Go Russia and Iran!
It’s a bit rich condemning Iran for using Russian space technology when America must use it too.
You’ll find on any given website that has a comments section a persistent poster that can only write drivel, in other words anything that would stir up mindless hate that would not be based on fact or reality but on the mindless prejudices of an extremely disturbed mind that would be exhibiting all the signs of NPD (Narcissistic Personality Disorder).
When baseless discrimination is being dredged up from personal prejudices targeting a whole religion, race or country, the intended harm/ridicule does a complete u-turn and discredits not only the writer/poster but by extension the site itself.
a zionist shill invading this site but easily visible with their comments. spinning the news, race, and gender issues, at home they play BLM cards while chopping- off balls of white boy /pedo-sex slave is hard to sell. Iran their nightmare. they can’t help it, but expose themselves. the nightmare is gonna come true. zionists knew it.
Flat Earthers and monotheist paradoxers–you are lucky I pull all my punches.
Azerbaijan tried to revive Aryan culture in Iran but failed. Iran went back to the Bible vomit, good dog bad dog etc.
Some but not all Iranians are indeed pure-blooded Aryans and, therefore, European man’s distant cousins. For this reason alone, Iran deserves the unconditional support of White men and women everywhere. Likewise, there are significant Aryan minorities in Afghanistan and northern India. Even China contains the remnants of Aryan settlements in its western regions.
These population groups, as well as the persecuted white minorities in South Africa and Zimbabwe deserve the support and protection of all European countries, countries who should stop bending knees to Jewish pressure groups and importing, coddling and supporting assorted third world trash.
im no friend of all the oriental isms but
russia helping Iran is only fair play !
Did you see how close Iran put their borders to those US bases. What temerity!
I was angry about something else that day, but it is still the case that I no longer indulge Iran, or anything Islamic. They are worse than the Commies. We rotted under Christianity but got out of it thanks to the Renaissance (re-birth of Greek culture). Islam sends us back 700 years.
