At the Raisina Dialogue 2026, General Stephen N. Whiting, Commander, US Space Command, said the US Space Command was involved in recent operations related to Iran and Venezuela. In a conversation with Firstpost's Managing Editor, Palki Sharma, he said, "Yes, US Space command has been involved in those operations because the way US Military conducts operation is what we refer to as multi-domain." He explained that space capabilities are foundational to how the United States Joint Force operates, providing critical support such as satellite communications, the global positioning system, missile warning, and intelligence from space. During the discussion, he highlighted India's ambitious space goals, expressing excitement about the country launching its own astronauts into orbit next year, a milestone significant for both India and the global space community. On the topic of potential space conflicts, General Whiting explained that while such events may be largely invisible, the reliance of daily life on space technology, ranging from GPS navigation to financial markets, commerce, education, and healthcare, means that any disruption would be widely felt. He stressed that US Space Command is focused on deterring conflicts to ensure that these essential capabilities remain secure.
