Default Iridum and weather msg on /mm ?

Hi,

Using a /MM station with a Iridium handheld, its data kit and a microwave
dish antenna lays on the deck, is there a way to receive weather message in
the same way as HF fax i(n USB with a computer) but now in those microwaves
frequencies ?
What is the required material or downverter to receive weather msg (is
possible) ?

I know what to use for meteosat and other "low frequencies" transmissions,
but nothing or quasi about Iridium.
Subsidiary question : is there a way to receive weather message using
Inmarsat network ? What solution 'd be the best (easiest or cheapest)

Thanks in advance
