Iran producing advanced rockets despite sanctions
"The era when Iran struggled to purchase missiles from others to defend itself during an imposed war has passed," it added.
"Today, despite ongoing sanctions, Iran is producing advanced rockets and launching satellites into space. It’s time to address Iran with respect, not through the language of sanction," it concluded.
On Saturday, the Chamran-1 research satellite was launched into space by the Qaem 100 satellite carrier and was successfully placed in a 550 km orbit.
The Chamran-1 satellite weighs about 60 kg and its main mission is to test hardware and software systems to prove orbital maneuver technology in height and phase.
Designed and built by IRGC aerospace experts, the Qaem-100 satellite carrier was able to successfully complete the orbiting operation of Chamran-1 satellite.
