The Latest Tea from Across the Globe: Satellites Galore!

Oh, sweetie, you won't believe what I heard! Russia, bless its heart, has gone and launched three more Iranian communication satellites into orbit. Can you believe it? Three!

This isn't the first time, mind you. They did this back in July too, launching the Nahid-2. It's like they're having a little space party, and we're just supposed to sit here and sip our tea!

They're calling these new contraptions Paya, Kowsar, and Zafar-2. One of them, Paya, is a hefty 150 kilograms. Back in my day, that was heavier than a fully loaded picnic basket! They say these are for managing water resources, agriculture, and the environment. Hmm, sounds a bit too convenient, doesn't it?

Grandma's Sarcastic Snooping & Shaking Her Head

Well, I never! Russia and Iran are just as thick as thieves, aren't they? They've even signed a “strategic partnership” treaty. Imagine that! No wonder they're helping each other with these *space projects*.

Of course, this comes after all that dreadful air war commotion in June, where so many poor souls were lost. Russia was quick to condemn those strikes, showing just how chummy they are. It’s all very… strategic, isn't it?

And the United States, bless their earnest hearts, keeps clucking about these satellite launches defying a U.N. resolution. They say Iran shouldn’t be messing with ballistic missiles capable of delivering… well, you know. But apparently, those U.N. sanctions just *poof* vanished in 2023.

What Actually Happened (According to the Newspapers, Anyway)

Alright, alright, let's get down to brass tacks. According to the Associated Press, Russia did indeed launch three Iranian communication satellites on a Sunday in December 2025.

They were sent into a 500-kilometer orbit from the Vostochny launchpad way out in eastern Russia. The satellites – Paya, Kowsar, and Zafar-2 – are said to provide 3-meter resolution images.

These images are supposedly for things like water management and agriculture. Their expected lifespan is up to five years. It's just another instance of Russia periodically helping Iran with its space endeavors, highlighting their ongoing relationship.

Grandma Just Can't Even Today!

Honestly, sweetie, sometimes I just want to throw my hands up! Satellites here, treaties there, and everyone playing these complicated games. Back in my day, a good ol' fashioned letter was enough communication!

All this talk of orbit and resolutions… it just makes my head spin! I suppose the world keeps turning, even with all these high-tech shenanigans. But a grandma's still allowed to raise an eyebrow, isn't she?

It just goes to show, you always have to keep an eye on things, because you never know what's going on up there, or down here for that matter. Pass me another slice of pie, darling, I need to recover!
