If the U.S. has a sat that's constantly monitoring a few known sites then it's likely that they have space based weapons pointed at them either space based lasers or small projectile interceptors.
And if anyone here thinks the U.S. is abiding by their treaty of NOT putting weapons in space then you are a fool!
If you know exactly where the launch is going to take place & it's only a single launch then the laser doesn't have to be that strong, SLV's are fragile, you focus the beam long enough on a single area to cause it to malfunction!
Cheaper way to do it would be with a space based small projectile interceptor but you are limited with the number of projectiles you can deploy that can also do the trick SLV's are slower than Ballistic Missiles and calculating their trajectory is easier you just put a small projectile in it's path and then boom!!!!! and you can even make your projectile look like space junk or a small sat....
If the U.S. wants to play these games with Iran then Iran needs to work it's way around these problems and their are 2 ways you can do it!
1.Build an Air Launched SLV! And this is the best way to do it! If Iran builds a 3(2.5) stage SLV based on the Sejil Booster they can build an SLV far more capable than the Simorgh & launch it at high altitude.

You can put 1000 lb in LEO with this! And the U.S. has had 38 successful launches with an SLV weighing in at only 20 tons (same weight as the Sejil-2)
2nd Option is to have mobile launch sites this would limit your prep & limit the size of the SLV & reduce your success rate and at max the Simorgh will be the biggest SLV you will ever launch.
