Iran's Sorayya Satellite Successfully Launched into 750-km Orbit

Western countries express concerns over potential dual-use technology, as Iran denies ambitions to develop nuclear weapons.

Iran successfully launched its Sorayya satellite into a 750-km orbit, marking a new milestone for its space program.
The satellite was launched by the Qaem 100, a three-stage solid-fuel rocket built by Iran's elite military Revolutionary Guards.
The United States and other Western countries have expressed concerns that the technology used for satellite launches could also be used for long-range weapons, including nuclear warheads.
Iran denies these claims, stating that its space program is for purely civilian purposes and that it has no ambition to develop nuclear weapons.
The successful launch has heightened tensions in the Middle East and has led to calls for transparency and adherence to international regulations.
