Iran successfully launched a man-made military satellite called Noor (Alo) -1 into Earth’s orbit on Wednesday, the Pentagon said in a statement. Pentagon spokesman Robert Ludwig said in a statement.
The AP news agency reported this information in a report.
Robert Ludwick says Washington is closely monitoring Iran’s artificial satellite program.
The military satellites have been launched into orbit by Iran’s own rocket-propelled grenade launcher. The military satellite was launched to mark the anniversary of the founding of the IRGC.
The Associated Press reports that Pentagon spokesman Ludwig demanded an immediate response on Wednesday, saying the incident showed that Iran wanted to build intercontinental ballistic missiles.
He said it was true that Iran did not have intercontinental ballistic missiles at this time; However, Iran’s efforts to strike a strategic balance with the United States could lead the country to build intercontinental ballistic missiles.
Previously, US officials had strongly criticized Iran’s peaceful space exploration efforts.
