Thank you Russia and Mr. Putin.  “The Russian-made Kanopus-V satellite with Russian hardware would be launched in Russia with Iran being able to use the satellite to spy on any targets, including U.S. troops in Iraq and military bases in Israel, whenever the country wanted.  …  The officials said the satellite could be launched in the next few months.  …  The news comes ahead of a highly anticipated first meeting between President Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin.”  I suggest that once the satellite is available that it will become inoperable by some state action.  See “Russia to supply Iran with advanced satellite system, officials say,” Joby Warrick, Washington Post, June 10, 2021.  See also “Russia prepping to give Iran advanced satellite system that will boost military spying capabilities,” Lexi Lonas, The Hill, June 10, 2021.
