Iran claimed to have successfully launched an Imaging Satellite called Noor-3 into orbit, raising concerns among Western nations about its space technology potentially being used for developing nuclear weapons. The launch was announced by Iran's Communication Minister, but there was no immediate confirmation from Western officials. Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard, which operates independently, carried out the launch. This comes after a series of failed launches by Iran and skepticism from the US Space Command about the capabilities of their previous satellite. Tensions are already high between Iran and Western nations over Iran's nuclear program and sanctions.
