I have no problem with this.
In fact, I consider it nothing more than an opportunity to spoof the satellite, and control what it relays down to its control station by technical means.
I hope that the Mullahs waste more money sending these things up, and that the Russians charge them an arm and a leg.
If it were up to me, they would be watching an endless loop of
Shoah or
Schindler's List from this thing. It would be the most expensive DVD player in history.
It is probably a good thing that it is not up to me.
