Iran Successfully Launches Saman-1 Rocket
Iran announced a successful launch of its Simorgh rocket from the Imam Khomeini Spaceport, marking a significant advancement in its space program, which the West alleges could bolster its ballistic missile capabilities. The Simorgh reportedly delivered an "orbital propulsion system" along with two research payloads into a 400-kilometer orbit, with a total mass of around 300 kilograms, a new record for Iran. This development comes amid heightened regional tensions due to the ongoing conflict in Gaza and follows the expiration of U.N. sanctions related to Iran's ballistic missile program in October 2023. While Iranian officials assert the civilian and scientific nature of their space endeavors, concerns remain over potential military applications. The U.S. and other Western nations have previously criticized such launches, citing violations of U.N. resolutions against ballistic missile activities. However, independent verification of the launch's success is still pending.
