Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : But it's easy to see why military analysts believe this bit of space cooperation between Iran and Russia offers a new frontier for east/west antagonisms.
52% : Iran also said it may use the satellite to monitor the country's borders.
50% : While U.S. officials are reportedly concerned about military spying, Iran says its latest and most sophisticated satellite will gather environmental data.
46% : But Iran has reportedly said it will have full operational control "from day one," according to Al Jazeera.
44% : The state-run news further quoted Iran's director of space operations, Alireza Naimi, who said Iran will need another four months before it'll start showing off images from its satellite.
40% : Though unlike your average SpaceX Starlink, the high-powered imaging satellite has U.S. intelligence officials biting their nails, concerned over what both Russia and Iran could be looking at down below.
38% : The U.S. is fearful that the satellite might not only be used by Iran to monitor military targets in Israel and around the Middle East, but to also help Russia spy on targets for its ongoing brutal war in Ukraine, according to anonymous sources familiar with the matter.
