Iran conducted a successful space launch using its Simorgh program, aimed at improving Tehran’s ballistic missile capabilities. The launch took place at the Imam Khomeini Spaceport in Semnan province, but there was no immediate independent confirmation of its success. The announcement comes amid heightened tensions in the Middle East over Israel’s conflict with Hamas in Gaza and a fragile ceasefire in Lebanon. This development adds to existing concerns about Iran’s military capabilities and its potential impact on regional stability.
