July 18, 2015 ¿ An Iranian communique to a Russian agent named `Tripoli¿ is intercepted saying the development of a Russian 500 kilowatt advanced laser weapon that could neutralize air warfare and provide the ability to remove satellites in space will be ready to send to Russia at 9 AM on July 31, 2015 from Iran.
