Russia said providing Iran advanced spy satellite to surveil military targets, Putin sez report is garbage

[IsraelTimes] Officials say satellite would be a major upgrade to Iranian capabilities, letting Tehran continuously photograph Israeli and US bases in Mideast and share data with terror groups.

Russia is set to provide Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence.

A defeated Israel and cowed Europe, and a dis-functional US in rapid decline and economic/political colonization by China seems a fit for that long term. The unleashed cyber looting and infrastructure flaws being exposed tell me he approved that exploration, support evolving choices for Russia.
