The Iranians insist that their space programme is entirely peaceful and is just a reaction to the Western dominance of space exploration. This is their second rocket launch, with the first taking place last February. They intend to launch their first satellite in May or June.

The US administration deemed this turn of events as ‘unfortunate’.

Sean McCormack of the State Department said:

“The kinds of technologies and capabilities that are needed in order to launch ... a space vehicle for orbit are the same kinds of capabilities and technologies that one would employ for long-range ballistic missiles,”
[...]
“And of course, the UN Security Council and other members of the international system have expressed their deep concern about Iran’s continuing development of medium- and long-range ballistic missiles,”
[...]
“The reason for that concern is tied to their ... continued search to perfect enrichment of uranium, which can, of course, be used in a nuclear weapon,”
