Tehran: Iran announced on Thursday has launched a new space, in one step the possibility of IRK Western Powers in the midst of difficult talks to revive the 2015 nuclear agreement.
“Satellite Simorgh launcher carries three cargo research into space,” Ahmad Hosseini’s ministry spokesman said, quoted by state television.
“The purpose of the research predicted for this launch has been achieved,” Hosseini added, without describing the nature of the research.
In February, Iran announced a successful test of the most powerful solid fuel satellite launcher to date, Zoljanah, bragging that it can put a charge of 220 kilograms (1,100 pounds) to orbit.
The United States voiced concerns about the launch, saying this test could improve Iran’s ballistic missile technology at a time when the two countries edged back to diplomacy.
Iran managed to include his first military satellite to orbit in April 2020, drawing sharp rebuke from Washington.
The Western government is worried that the satellite launch system combines technology that can be exchanged with those used in ballistic missiles that are able to provide nuclear warheads.
Iran affirms space programs only for civil and defense purposes, and does not violate nuclear agreements or other international agreements.
The 2015 agreement has been hung by Utas since the US left it in 2018 and ransibkan sanctions, encouraging Iran to increase nuclear activity which is long limited by the agreement.
A new negotiation round began in Vienna on Monday in a fresh push to make progress to revive the agreement.
