Noor-1 Satellite Is Our Armed Eye
Today there are some countries in the world that instead of having two eyes, they have some more eyes over their heads in the sky and we, the Islamic Republic of Iran, after waiting over years have succeeded in having some eye over our heads to monitor our surroundings which is able both monitor and search.

Satellite Noor-1, which was put into the orbit with smart prudence of Aerospace Division of the IRGC amid the western media’s hype and all restrictions, has made our public stunningly more discerning and today we watch and monitor the world better than yesterday. If this satellite had been put into the orbit one year earlier, the performance of Martyr Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani with enemies would have differed totally. What we can do. We were behind in terms of time but fortunately did it because such satellites can provide capabilities for Iran’s military forces to monitor all military moves of enemies and facilities of other countries, and also by having such a tool in the space, the country will be able to guide missiles, drones and other military equipment via it, and it is another achievement, added to achievements of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Beside the launch and placing the satellite in the orbit there was another important issue which was less noticed by the media and it was the missile message which “Qased” carrier signaled. It implicitly signaled messages to friends and foes. This missile which put the satellite into the orbit 425 kilometers above the earth is double-functional. It means it can be also used as weapon. In other words, this satellite carrier is a ballistic missile with capability to fly long distances between continents and it seems IRGC’s main reason for this launch, amid the U.S. all-out pressures, was to convey an important strategic message that if Iran has announced officially range of its missiles is 2000 kilometers, that range has difference with its existing capabilities.
Today all armies in the world are fully aware that if a country can successfully test a three-phase satellite carrier, it means the country has reached which level of technology. The sensitive point in this technology lies in this matter that nuclear ballistic missiles are very similar to this type of satellite carrier because in the first stage after trajectory and flying some miles, the post-boost is released from the boost phase and later the terminal phase is released from the post-boost and puts the satellite in the orbit but they only differ in this function that ballistic missiles carry nuclear warheads and satellite carriers only satellites.
The important difference between them is that Iran’s satellite carrier is launched from a mobile launcher which has stunned the West. It is important to mention that in the past, satellites used to be launched from the Imam Khomeini Aerospace Base in Semnan Province and any move in the base was monitored by western satellites and they were fully aware of the launches. Analysis from the previous unsuccessful launches show that likely their failures might be because of their management under the Ministry of Information and Communications and those magnifiers fixed on the launchers.
Now Iran not only has put aside its JOPCA obligations and accelerated enrichment but also has stepped up its missile technology and all these developments show the failure of U.S. President Donald Trump’s maximum pressures.
Today it is crystal clear to all that Iran, as the strategic depth of resistance axis against the world hegemony, by employing its own made strategic missiles is turning into a big deterrent power in the region and the world, and it can concurrently transfer its tactical and strategic capabilities to its regional arms and it can dictate its policies through them without any concerns from enemies and ill-wishers’ attacks.
The armed eye that today Iran has placed in the space provides this chance to the country to monitor any development and change in the world with necessary speed, accuracy and time and it can have accurate evaluation from the behind-the-scene of any decision either good or bad or any happening .
