As regional tensions escalate, Iran launches satellite as part of Western-criticized program

Firstpost  

Iran announced on Saturday that it had successfully launched a satellite into its highest orbit to date, part of a program that the West fears will enhance Tehran’s ballistic missile arsenal. The launch was part of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards’ space programme alongside Iran’s civilian space program, the report said. The United States has previously said Iran’s satellite launches defy a UN Security Council resolution and called on Tehran to undertake no activity involving ballistic missiles capable of delivering nuclear weapons. The US intelligence community’s 2023 worldwide threat assessment said the development of satellite launch vehicles shortens the timeline for Iran to develop an intercontinental ballistic missile because it uses similar technology.
