The Iran Project : The spokesman of the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has condemned the statement issued by the three European countries (UK, France, and Germany) about the recent launch of a home-grown Sorayya satellite.

The Islamic Republic of Iran has an absolute right to have access to scientific and research achievements, he said adding that such comments would not prevent the determined Iranian nation from achieving more successes.
In his remarks, the spokesman said the Islamic Republic strongly rejects such abnormal attitudes.
He went on to say that the Islamic Republic preserves its right to use peaceful technology in line with upgrading its scientific development, so the country does not care about comments of certain countries which are after imposing their opinion on others.
