The United States of America was not involved in the catastrophic accident during final launch preparations for the Safir SLV Launch at Semnan Launch Site One in Iran. I wish Iran best wishes and good luck in determining what happened at Site One. pic.twitter.com/z0iDj2L0Y3

Popular Mechanics: Everything We Know About America's Secret KH-11 Recon Satellites
When President Trump tweeted classified satellite photos, it startled the intelligence community—and revealed the capabilities of the U.S. spy satellite network.
Spy satellites have been with us since the dawn of the Space Age. In fact, the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS), which maintains a database of operational satellites, says that as of March, there were more than 2,000 of the devices in Earth orbit, 176 of which were operated by the U.S. military. (In total, roughly 5,000 satellites are in orbit, most no longer operational.) It’s a good bet that many of those are loaded down with cameras and other sensors used to keep tabs on adversaries.
But while we’ve known about these high-flying cameras for decades, and indeed seen them crop up with usually exaggerated capabilities in spy films, their true powers have been closely guarded secrets. At least, that is, until President Donald Trump on Friday appeared to tweet out an image of an exploded rocket launch facility in Iran taken by a U.S. spy satellite, an image that showed just how good U.S. hardware is at securing crisp, high-resolution images.

WNU Editor: This is not the first time an image was revealed, and it will probably not be the last time.

That's one very impressive satellite photo that could have easily just been taken from a drone.
I don't understand the fuzz. This was no secret. They have even better resolutions.
"This is not the first time an image was revealed, and it will probably not be the last time."
Typical for Democrats. Make a fuss over everything like Sharpiegate.
On Thursday , August 29th, Alabama had a 30% chance of being hit by the hurricane. The Alabama National Guard was staging for it. So was the DNC. It was ready to pounce. What is their motto?
Never let a crisis go to waste!
Even if there is not one.
"Trump was dead wrong on the Alabama thing." - asshole

Poor liberals. So retarded!

I up-vote Hans's comment
True: Latest KH-11 capabilities are no secret to the Russians and Chinese. More secret are its maneuvering capabilities, and armour to deflect attacks of many varied types. The Iranians have to assume any "interesting" activity they do on open ground is going to be seen. Where America is weak in Iran is with HUMINT.
Trump minions made up bullshit about Alabama and you use that to justify?
you are too fucking dumb to argue with

People moved personnel, material and money around in Alabama because of the hurricane.
You are going after Trump and giving Slow Joe Biden a pass. Says a lot about you. None of it good mind you.
