On
Sunday Iran failed to put a Zafar satellite into orbit. It was a humiliating blow to Tehran.
The launch had been
planned amid celebrations ahead of the February anniversary of Iran’s 1979
Islamic Revolution. Iran routinely unveils technological achievements for its
armed forces, its space program and its nuclear efforts during this time.
Sunday’s failure came
after two
failed launches of the Payam and Doosti satellites last year, as well as a
launchpad rocket explosion in August.
Internet watchdog
Netblocks reported a disruption in internet service in Iran on Saturday of
Dezhfa, the Islamic Republic’s national cybersecurity wall known as “Digital
Fortress”.
According to Sadjad
Bonabi, an official from Iran's Telecommunications Infrastructures Company, the
disruption
was caused by a DDoS attack in which attackers attempt to make a network
unavailable by sending too many requests to the IP of a country, causing an
overload which leads to disruptions or crashes the network. The attack originated
in East Asia and North America but did not seem to be the work of another
government, according to Bonabi.
The Central
Intelligence Agency has conducted sabotage programs since the George W. Bush Administration.
The program has received renewed resources under the Trump Administration.
Information and
Communications Technology Minister Mohammad Javad Azari Jahromi who is believed
to be a candidate for Iran’s 2021 presidential campaign acted like a
middle school cheerleader following the epic failure when he tweeted, “But We’re
UNSTOPPABLE!” and included a satellite emoji.
Today "Zafar" satellite launch failed. Like many scientific projects, Failure happened. FALCON 9, Juno II, ATLAS, PROTON M, ANTARES are just few samples of US launch failures.— MJ Azari Jahromi (@azarijahromi) February 9, 2020
