52. Umm---no
set aside the past events where a satalite has re entered and caused a known type of damage and radiological profile...

destroying a keyhole satalite in orbit would require technology held by only a few nations. Iran is not one of those nations. But the bullshit factor here is enormous.

There are multiple KH platforms in space. Not just one.

There are only a few nations who could shoot one down. Those nations would not want the response to taking that action.

That act would at MINIMUM cause US to systematically destroy the attackers communication and intelligence assets in space.

It could provoke a war.

But this is bullshit. All it would take to prove is a sample of the material. The radioactive fingerprint from the fuel would prove its origin.

How it ties into minot is also bullshit. We have tens of thousands of nuclear weapons. Plenty are already in the middle east. I would bet that they run drills targeting iran for a second strike.
