Chapter 685 Successful launch of Iranian satellite

On August 11, 2007, it was a very important day for Iranians, because it was a memorial to Muhammad's appointment as a saint.

However, this day is not only an important Islamic festival, but also the most important day of the Islamic Republic of Iran this year.

This morning, Iranian state television publicly broadcast a video to the outside world. In an empty plain area, a huge towering steel bracket was erected out of thin air. On the side of the steel bracket, a huge white and blue missile engraved with the Iranian flag was firmly locked in the steel bracket. Above.

With the introduction of the announcer, the outside world became a sensation. In the early morning of this year, the Islamic Republic of Iran sent a domestic exploration and research satellite "Hope" into the Earth's elliptical orbit with a domestic 'Essenger 2' carrier rocket.

The 'Hope' satellite is a scientific research satellite for the detection of astronomical data and related research purposes. It has two channels and 8 data transmission lines, which can orbit the earth 15 times every 24 hours. The satellite will return to the ground in orbit for one month to three months, providing reliable and effective data for Iran to launch long-running satellites in the future.

The launch of the 'Essenger 2' rocket and the launch of the 'Hope' satellite indicate that Iran will become the world's 43 countries with satellites and the 9th country with the ability to launch satellites. Iran's move will successfully step into the threshold of the 'Space Club'.

The video broadcast by Iranian TV was amazing and quickly sent to the desks of dignitaries from all over the world at a very fast speed.

'This is a step towards justice and peace. In the face of unjust international sanctions, Iranian scientists have used their wisdom to safeguard national dignity.'

Iran's successful launch of satellites is an exciting news for Iranians. Although Iranian TV also said that Iran launched satellites only for peaceful purposes, for the United States and Israel, Iran's launch of satellites undoubtedly poses a great threat - Iran can launch satellites with rockets, and naturally it can be attacked by missiles. Israel.

So the United States, Britain and France issued a statement at the first time, expressing serious concern about Iran's launch of satellites, and the toughest attitude is the United States. The U.S. political axe feels that it is not Israel, an ally, that is the first to be pressured by Iran to launch a satellite, but by the hundreds of thousands of U.S. political axes in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Although all countries have issued harsh statements one after another, in fact, the political axe and intelligence security departments of various countries have begun to take action, quoting an unnamed official of the U.S. security department as saying: The United States does not yet know the real use of the Iranian satellite, and the United States is trying to obtain relevant information. .

The timing of this satellite launch is also intriguing. Syrian President Bashar in the 'Four Nations Alliance'? As soon as Assad's attitude began to wave ambiguously, and the fourth formal negotiations in Riyadh were about to begin, Iran's political axe made such a decision that shocked the world: launch domestic satellites with self-produced rockets.

An Iranian expert who did not want to be named told the reporter of Somali National Radio that Iran's move released the message to the world that 'Iran is quite powerful, and you must deal with us in a more correct way'.

In fact, the problem that the outside world is most concerned about is not a satellite in the sky, but that Iran has the multi-stage rocket technology to successfully launch the satellite, which means that Iran's missile technology has been very advanced, but to what extent? Whether intercontinental flights can be carried out and whether nuclear warheads can be carried is what countries are most worried about.

The news that Iran has a certain number of atomic bombs has been confirmed by most countries, but having atomic weapons and having strategic nuclear forces is a completely different concept.

The greatest power of nuclear weapons is to stay on the launch pad, that is to say, if you want to have nuclear deterrence, you must make people understand that you have the ability to drop nuclear weapons on the enemy. Otherwise, your nuclear deterrence is illusory and doesn't have much deterrence.

And the delivery capacity of nuclear weapons is manifested in the trinity launch mode. That is, strategic bombers drop nuclear bombs or nuclear missiles, intercontinental ballistic missiles and strategic nuclear submarines. These three strategic nuclear weapons are the foundation of a country's strategic nuclear deterrence. As for tactical nuclear weapons in other ways, they cannot have an advantage in front of the old nuclear powers. Once a nuclear war breaks out, it is still unknown whether these tactical nuclear weapons can be used.

The launch of the Iranian satellite not only gave a blow to the countries that were 'hostile' Iran, but also made the 'Four-nation Alliance' nervous.

Among them, Syria and North Korea are the most special. Syrian President Bashar? Assad was stunned after receiving the news. He had long learned through some channels that Iran was secretly carrying out a space program, but Bashar ignored it and believed that Iran did not have the ability to complete such an incredible plan alone under international sanctions.

As we all know, Iran's missile technology mainly comes from North Korea. The meteor series missiles currently owned by Iran are mainly derived from North Korea's 'Worker 1' missile. The 'Worker 1' missile is called Scud D. It was developed and improved by North Korea's submarine-launched SS-N-4 missile under the technical support of the former Soviet Union and Russia. Later, Russia stopped technical support and North Korea transferred On the basis of 'Worker 1', the 'Worker 2' type has been independently developed, that is, the famous 'Dapudong 1' missile.

Iran's multi-stage rocket technology is derived from the missile technology provided by North Korea, but North Korea launched the first artificial satellite 'Guangminger 1' as early as 1998, which ended in failure. In addition, North Korea's second launch of satellites continued to fail last year, in 2006, because North Korea is in many There are still many defects in the stage rocket technology, especially in the multistage rocket separation technology. North Korea's technical strength obviously does not meet the requirements.

Even North Korea can't complete the so-called 'space program' and become a member of the 'space club'. What about Iran, who inherits North Korea? Bashar is very skeptical.

This time, the "nuclear issue of the four countries" has raised the "represence" of Syria's political axe in the world. There is a link based on the "nuclear program". The "nuclear confrontation between the four countries" has become a very major international event in the world at present. Bashar? While Assad has gained a great reputation, he is also a little nervous and dissatisfied. As a mature politician, Bashar understands that this 'nuclear confrontation' may continue for a long time. Once the Western world led by the United States imposes sanctions and blockades on the four countries, the impact on the economy and diplomacy of the four countries will be too bad. Bashar? Assad felt that it was not good for him to continue this situation.

Bashar? As the president of Syria, Assad inherited the greatest power of the country from his father and has always hoped to continue the power of the Assad family. He is very clear about what is going on in Syria. It can be said that the hearts of ordinary people and many active partisan forces have been dissatisfied and even resentful of the Assad family's long-term control of Syria, but now they can't find an opportunity or support resistance, and once Syria is deeply involved in the 'four-nation nuclear issue' Vortex, Bashar can be sure that foreign forces will definitely find a breakthrough internally. Unlike the other three countries, Syria's internal contradictions are the most acute and fierce, and it is most likely to trigger and expand these contradictions. Once internal contradictions break out, coupled with the incitement of foreign forces, it is very likely to threaten his rule, not to mention that he wants his son to continue to inherit the power of the Assad family.

The purpose of developing nuclear technology is to consolidate the rule of the Assad family and enhance the reputation of the Assad family. The ultimate purpose of all these plans is to serve the Assad family to continue to rule Syria. Once it deviates from this purpose or has serious consequences for the ultimate goal, Bashar? Assad is absolutely unwilling to see it.

Therefore, before the irresistible benefits and promises given by Britain and France, Bashar hesitated and was moved by the secret promise of the political axe of the two countries, which was to acquiesce that the Assad family would continue to occupy the throne of the Syrian president and provide external solidarity for the Assad family.

After careful discussion with his cronies' think tank and the main members of the family, Bashar felt that the basis for the existence of the 'four-nation alliance' was not reliable. The secretly signed agreement did not guarantee the interests of the member countries at the critical time. Everyone was not very optimistic about the final outcome of the 'four-nation alliance', because internationally Many examples of May Day do not prove that there is no benefit at all against the Western forces that still dominate the world before they have unnatural strength.

Instead of standing in front of the 'big trend', it is better to actively integrate into the 'big trend' and get benefits through the unstoppable driving force of the 'big trend'.

But the drawbacks of leaving the 'Four Nations Alliance' are also huge, which will not only give people a reason to scorn, but also offend many people. Not to mention the other three countries, Russia's political axe certainly does not want to see the last ally in the Middle East throw into the arms of its opponents and do that betrayal.

Just in Bashar? When Assad was still hesitant, Iran suddenly dropped a huge flash bomb on the world, which made people dizzy.

Iran's successful launch of the satellite will certainly bring more courage to the "Four Nations Alliance" and may affect a number of countries that were originally watching in the corner of the stage. Moreover, this matter will also make the Western world have more concerns and fears about Iran and even the 'Four Nations Alliance'. Before knowing what cards the opponents have, they may make concessions at the negotiating table.

Bashar? Assad hesitated again. Once the European and American countries give in, maybe the "four-nation nuclear issue" may be resolved peacefully, or even acquiesced. In this way, the four countries may really become a nuclear-weapon state like Israel, which is not recognized by the international nuclear club, but actually exists and tacitly.

It is too powerful to complete Syria's nuclear program and make Syria a nuclear weapons country. Because Bashar knows very well that possessing nuclear weapons and not having them are extremely important for a country. In the Syrian-Israeli conflict, Israel can carry out a provocative attack on Syria without hesitation, while Syria is a little scared because Israel has nuclear weapons.
