Mullah regime rejoices:
Military satellite successfully launched into space
According to Iran, it has launched a military satellite into space. The satellite, named "Fakhr-1", was launched into orbit on Friday using a "Simorgh" carrier rocket developed by the Mullah regime itself, the state news agency IRNA reported.
A space tug was also on board the carrier rocket. The satellite is reportedly already in orbit and has already sent a signal to ground stations. According to the Tasnim news agency, the satellite was named after Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, who was murdered four years ago in an intelligence operation allegedly carried out by Israel. Fakhrizadeh, known as the "father of Iran's nuclear program", was a general in the Iranian Revolutionary Guards and an expert in the missile division.
The Islamic Republic has already launched several satellites into space to collect data on weather, natural disasters and agriculture. At the end of February 2024, Iran's Revolutionary Guards reported a successful satellite launch from Iranian soil.
USA and EU observe developments with great concern
Tehran claims that its satellite program does not pursue any military objectives. However, as the program is directed and executed by the Revolutionary Guards, there are international doubts about this claim. The Revolutionary Guards are de facto the country's second armed force and are considered far more influential and powerful than the traditional army. In addition, the USA and the EU recently warned that the same technology used for the space program could also be used for ballistic missiles.
