The new space race
Iran has launched a new satellite – the US warns
Iran has launched a new research satellite into space on Saturday, writes Reuters and refers to state-controlled media. It is the second time this year that an Iranian satellite has been launched.
The US has previously claimed that the technology used in the satellite launch also enables the use of long-range weapons. Iranian authorities deny the delay is a cover for developing ballistic missiles.
Western countries have recently accused Iran of supplying ballistic missiles to Russia in the war in Ukraine. Iran has also denied that.
