IDF INTEL: We destroyed Iran’s base for attacking satellites to keep space supremacy.

In an extremely rare public statement, an IDF Unit 9900 intelligence official said on Monday that Israel has destroyed an Iranian base which was focused on building technologies to shoot down Israeli satellites and other adversaries’ satellites.

According to the officer from the IDF’s clandestine satellite intelligence division, the goal of the attack was to maintain Israel’s supremacy in space, especially regarding satellite surveillance.

“We are leading many efforts to preserve the IDF’s freedom of action in the arena of space, and to harm the capabilities of Iran to act and to build such forces,” said the Unit 9900 official.

He complimented the Defense Ministry and the broader defense establishment – Israel Aerospace Industries is the lead Israeli satellite developer – to help “IDF intelligence to continue to operate surveillance satellites and to provide critical intelligence for the war, to provide warnings [of ballistic missile launches] and to” target adversaries throughout the Middle East.

Welcome to the 21st Century we were promised, when “space superiority” is a real thing.
