New US Gag on Auckland's Space-Watching Hub

US Space Command has issued a gag order regarding a space-watching network in Auckland. This network, funded by the Pentagon, has been involved in supporting combat operations in the Iran war.

Auckland is home to one of three global hubs for this space-watching network. Its role has been impactful in military operations, particularly in the context of the Iran conflict. The new restrictions from US Space Command limit the information that can be disclosed regarding the facility's operations. The situation raises questions about the transparency and oversight of military-funded activities.
