Reports of Iranian Political Pressure DelayingIsraeli Satellite Launch
The Jerusalem Post is reportingIranian "sabotage" delayed the launch of the TecSar Satellite.
Sabotage is the JPost's term, not mine.
It appears that Iran was using its contacts with India's Marxist and Muslim parties to apply pressure against the government launching Israel's satellite.
Israel has its own organic launch capabilities, but they have to do a retrograde launch over the Med to avoid Diplomatic issues.
