Iran Guards reveal secret space program in satellite launch
(Worthy News) – Iran’s Revolutionary Guard launched its first satellite into space Wednesday, dramatically revealing what experts described as a secret military space program that could advance its ballistic missile development amid wider tensions between the Islamic Republic and the US.
Using a mobile launcher at a new launch site, the Guard said it put the “Noor,” or “Light,” satellite into a low orbit circling the Earth. While the US, Israel, and other countries declined to immediately confirm the satellite reached orbit, their criticism suggested they believed the launch happened.
The launch comes as Iran has abandoned all the limitations of its tattered nuclear deal with world powers that US President Donald Trump unilaterally withdrew America from in 2018. Trump’s decision set off a monthslong series of escalating attacks that culminated in a US drone strike in January that killed a top Iranian general in Iraq, followed by Tehran launching ballistic missiles at American soldiers in Iraq.
