Secretary of State Mike Pompeo blasted Iran's satellite launch this week as "dangerous" and "provocative" and urged the international community to intervene.
"For years, Iran has claimed its space program is purely peaceful and civilian," Pompeo said in a statement Saturday. "The Trump Administration has never believed this fiction. This weeks launch of a military satellite by Irans Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization, makes clear what we have said all along: Irans space program is neither peaceful nor entirely civilian."
Irans Revolutionary Guard launched its first satellite into space Wednesday, dramatically revealing what experts described as a secret military space program that could advance its ballistic missile development amid wider tensions between the Islamic Republic and the U.S.
Using a mobile launcher at a new launch site, the Guard said it put the Noor, or Light, satellite into a low orbit circling the Earth.

(12,712 posts)I warn that Pompeo is dangerous, no quotes. He is neither "peaceful nor entirely civilian."
With a Secretary of State like that, what could go wrong? What can he do now to make the, "Trump touches it, it dies" rule play out again?
Hmmm, Beat some drums. Rattle some sabers. The noise makes a good distraction from the failure in the White House. Clench your teeth and hiss the gasses of war, Pompous.
Yawn. This old shtick is getting repetitious and boring. That is, except for those who buy into childish games.
Meanwhile, Iran is cut off by sanctions even while it faces the pandemic and the people are in grave danger and need supplies.
Nice time to make copious asshole sounds for Dear Leader.
