🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡️ — U.S. intelligence has identified Iran as an "emerging" space power despite American strikes on its space-related facilities, according to Axios, citing a Defense Intelligence Agency report. The report says Iran used electronic warfare capabilities against U.S. space systems during Operation Epic Fury, including ground-based jamming equipment capable of disrupting GPS signals. American officials are also concerned that Iran is using satellite intelligence to improve the accuracy of strikes against military targets. Tehran acquired a Chinese reconnaissance satellite, while Russia launched two remote-sensing satellites for Iran in 2022 and 2024, with additional Russian-supported launches reported in 2025. Iran currently operates approximately 12 satellites, compared with more than 1,000 times that number operated by the United States.
