UK Ministry of Defence satellite data suggests hidden intelligence role in Iran war

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

New analysis of satellite data suggests the UK Ministry of Defence played a more significant role in the recent Iran war than previously disclosed. The data, examined by Declassified UK, indicates that a Ministry of Defence satellite named Tyche increased its passes over Iran before and during the Twelve-Day War last June and the subsequent conflict. This intelligence gathering may have supported military operations, with the report also noting the involvement of companies like Palantir and Starlink. AI
