That seems like a stretch. If it was meant for spy satellites wouldn't it be in English and have a message that's a little less generic?

This is a common observation in Iran, specially regarding governmental activities. The whole country is littered with ads and propaganda.

I'll bite. What other reason for such huge letters facing upwards? Based on the trucks, they are 1-2 meters high.

Launches are often filmed from aircraft for promotional purposes. So yes, they are probably intended to be read from above, just nothing so drastic as spy sats.

Edit: Argh, it's in the article..."The product of national empowerment". Interested though, if that's accurate or has alternate interpretations. Seems intended to be read by spy satellites...
