Iran’s “Victory” satellite fails to reach orbit: “sometimes life does not go the way we want it to”

Feb 13, 2020 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“Sometimes life does not go the way we want it to,” said Javad Azari-Jahromi.

Yes. Hillary lost. The gravy train from the U.S. ended. And now the Islamic Republic is severely threatened.

“Iran’s ‘Victory’ satellite fails to reach orbit,” The National, February 10, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Iran unveiled a new short-range missile called Thunder on Sunday and launched a satellite named Victory, which failed to reach orbit.

The Zafar satellite launch was the country’s fourth consecutive failure in attempting to put a satellite into orbit.

“We will make improvements for future launches,” a defence ministry spokesman said.

Iranian Minister of Information and Communications Technology, Javad Azari-Jahromi, said the satellite launch had not gone as planned.

“I wanted to make you happy with good news but sometimes life does not go the way we want it to,” he said….

    The Gillette-averse psychos in Tehran need a name that rolls off the tongue: what about the ‘Soleimani Satellite’? But wait a minute! Soleimani reached orbit on January 3rd!

      It is always the same with religion, when something works it is allah’s will or god’s will. When it does not work or there is disaster, silence. The all powerful never gets the blame for whatever goes wrong.

    At the expense of their people, the Mullahs in Tehran are able to find sufficient funds to launch a satellite into orbit. (That pallet of Obama’s American 100’s must be getting smaller by the day.)

    But what was the intended purpose of this satellite? Spying on the U.S. and her allies, taking out other satellites, a nuclear warhead perhaps? The moniker “Victory” has some disturbing connotations attached to it.

      The cheapest, fastest way for them to reverse their political and economic fortunes, in their estimation, seems to be to remain faithful to the level of Jihad described in the Islamic Trilogy.

      Ayatollah Khomeini said in his “Little Green Book” (available to read online for free) that he longed for the day when contemporary Muslims will exhibit the same level of devotion and commitment to Jihad as those in the days when Mohammed terrorized the Arabian Peninsula.

      Apparently, if believers have enough faith, Heaven and Earth will yield to their will.

      And there is some reason to believe in this argument.

      With nuclear weapons and a reliable missile with a sufficient Nuclear payload capacity and range, could force EVERY nation in it’s range to go along with Tehran’s wishes. The idea comes to mind of the Mullahs making countries like Germany, for example, an offer they cant refuse.

      Political power. Influence. Economic solvency. Energy supremacy.

      All they would have to do is get past the obstacles of US opposition.

      And they are diligently working on that while we call them goat herders, fail to inform our fellow Americans of the real dangers of Islamization and worry about how badly the despotic Mullahs treat the Iranian Muslims in Iran.

        Very well said. We tend to regard them as stupid but some are intelligent and want to destroy us and our way of life. Chamberlain underestimated Hitler. We must not make the same mistake.

      Lets not forget India and Pakistan. Both have huge military’s, a nuke missile program and a space program and both have their hands out for foreign aid because their people are living like animals.

        India is not a threat as is Pakistan.

          Got some news for you and its all bad.
          India may not be a Muslim nation but they are a threat to us in Australia.

        Agreed but have to point out the obvious …anybody would want to be well armed if they had pakistan as a neighbor

    It’s been like that since the start of islam.

    If Iran gets long-range rockets and nukes, they will likely bomb themselves.

    Here is a possible scientific explanation for this.

    According to the koran,an incredible compendium of wondrous scientific insights,it is impossible to go into space without asking allah’s permission.

    “O company of JINNS and men,if ye have the power to penetrate all regions of heavens
    and the earth then penetrate them!
    Ye will NEVER penetrate them save with OUR sanction”
    koran 55:33

    Possible reasons for failure..

    The Iranians spoke in Farsi:but allah only speaks Arabic{Communication error}
    The Israelis Zionists must have sabotaged the rocket
    allah does not approve of muslims using ‘infidel’ science{especially when it comes from Jewish or Christian scientists}
    It was an islamic miracle somehow
    The Iranians didn’t have enough power
    The Iranians didn’t ask allah’s {WE/OUR}permission
    There was a black dog in the vicinity
    The mullah’s didn’t say their prayers properly and allah was angry
    allah is angry at people in Iran who insult islam

    In your face all you scientifically literate ex-muslim “apostates” and atheists!
    You see?You cannot defeat allah’s scientific miracles in his book of scientific miracles,the koran.

    You cannot refute koran 33:55 away:well,except for all those INFIDEL American and Soviets in space..

    • FYI says

      Feb 13, 2020 at 6:35 pm

      {typo}Or even koran 55:33

      allah{“the best of deceivers” k3;54} must be trying to misguide me..

      [koran 33:55 “Lo!allah is witness over all things”:so I guess allah saw the rocket fail.allah rightly guides his followers in the palms of his two right hands but that doesn’t appear to be the case with their rocketry expertise}

      That historical documentary “Capricorn One” revealed how all the alleged trips into space by the U.S. have been faked in Hollywood studious.

          O.J Simpson was acting in it.

          I wonder what happened him..?

          I saw a skit once with all that Black and White footage taking on the Moon and the Astronauts moving around very slowly hampered by the Moon’s gravity……and then a little mouse scurries across the scene and a cat races after it.

          Actually I may have imagined that….

    Well, they are Muslims and hence doomed to miserable failure in any sort of advanced technical or civilisational endeavour. Pretty good at blowing themselves up though, or running over people in tbe street, or cutting off people’s heads, but not much else.

    I think it’s the inbreeding. 70 generations of cousin marriage produces people who are mentally and physically misshapen, violent and stupid. If they were dogs we’d shoot them.

    Hmmm….Now that I think of it…

    I am surprised that they did not blame the failure on jinns ,or the Jews ,or an” American Israel joint plot”.

  13. JIMA says

    Feb 14, 2020 at 11:38 am

    Sure it’s too bad it didn’t reach orbit, but look on the bright side Iran, at least you didn’t shoot down a passenger airliner.

    It seems to me more info is really needed to figure out if this was a true failure or a cover story for Iran launching a rocket for other purposes. A “short range” rocket would more likely be used to put something in a suborbital or very low orbital level. Too much missing from this story and the Iranians too willing to announce and timidly accept it as a failure.
