Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard launched a second satellite into space, the country's state-run news agency reported Monday, just as world powers awaited Tehran's decision in negotiations over the country's tattered nuclear deal.
The IRNA report did not identify where or when the launch took place. However, it came as Iran’s top diplomat at the months-long talks suddenly flew home late Monday for consultations, a sign of the growing pressure on Tehran as the negotiations appear to be nearing their end.
The Guard said the Noor-2 satellite reached a low orbit on the Ghased satellite carrier, IRNA reported. It described the Ghased as a three-phase, mixed fuel satellite carrier.
