Iran says it conducted a successful space launch in a program long criticized by West

Iran successfully conducted a space launch using its Simorgh program, despite previous failed attempts. The launch took place at Iran's Imam Khomeini Spaceport and carried an orbital propulsion system and research systems to a 400-kilometer orbit above Earth. The payload weighed 300 kilograms, heavier than previous launches. The US has expressed concerns about Iran's missile capabilities and called on Tehran to halt activities involving ballistic missiles capable of delivering nuclear weapons. Iran's progress in space technology could potentially shorten the timeline to develop intercontinental ballistic missiles. Iran's space program was slowed down under previous leadership but has gained momentum under the current administration.
