How Does the World View Iran:
According to World Public Opinion, a new BBC World Service poll surveying 33 countries indicates that Iran engenders the most negative reactions. Of course, the survey also reveals that America is next up the ladder, meaning that people in the other countries see the US as a fairly substantial negative influence in the world, followed closely by Russia. On the other hand, Europe and Japan are viewed as highly positive influencers.
The Space Development Agency says it’s on track to issue its next batch of missile warning and tracking satellite contracts this month after those awards were delayed by the Pentagon’s decision to divert funds from the agency to pay troops during this fall’s prolonged government shutdown.
