이란, 자체개발 인공위성 발사…"궤도 진입엔 실패"
Iran failed to put a satellite into orbit on Sunday as tensions continue to run high with the U.S. after Washington's killing of top Iranian commander Qassem Soleimani last month.
Iranian state television said the satellite was launched Sunday morning at a spaceport some 230 kilometers southeast of Tehran.
But the rocket couldn't put the Zafar satellite into orbit because it wasn't going fast enough.
Iran routinely unveils technological achievements for its armed forces, space program and nuclear capabilities.
The U.S. and Europe have claim such launches are aimed at helping Iran develop ICBMs that can carry nuclear weapons.
