(Worthy News) – The United States has quietly acknowledged that Iran’s paramilitary Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps successfully put an imaging satellite into orbit in recent days in a launch that resembled others previously criticized by Washington as helping Tehran’s ballistic missile program.

Information for the website is supplied by the 18th Space Defense Squadron of the US Space Force, the newest arm of the American military. [ Source: Israel Hayom (Read More…) ]
