Watch: Iran carries out space launch amid nuclear deal revival talks with West
Published on Dec 30, 2021 09:35 pm IST
Iran announced Thursday it has carried out a new space launch, in a move likely to irk Western powers amid tough talks on reviving a 2015 nuclear deal. The television aired footage of a rocket rising from a desert launchpad. It gave no details of its location although US media reported earlier this month that preparations for a launch were under way at Iran's space centre in Semnan, 300 kilometres (190 miles) east of Tehran. Western governments worry that satellite launch systems incorporate technologies interchangeable with those used in ballistic missiles capable of delivering a nuclear warhead.
