IRIS² — SES internal approval implied; unverified (highest retro priority)
Not filed to a thread
As the brief logged it
SIR headline (undated, paywalled): *"Europe's IRIS² constellation, after adopting compromises and securing SES approval, looks ready to pass go-ahead review."* Phrasing "securing SES approval" implies internal SES clearance; "go-ahead review" suggests EC/SpaceRISE formal milestone has not yet been passed. SIR is DEMOTED (0/2 historical hit rate). No SES investor release, no EC press release, no corroborating source confirmed. Headline timestamp not verifiable — article direct fetch blocked. If real: EXISTENTIAL — confirms SES EUR 1.8B+ MEO/LEO capital commitment and EU sovereign infrastructure lock-in. Do not act on until official source confirmed. Immediate manual check required.
