Russia launches Iran’s telecommunications satellite to space

Russia has launched a telecommunications satellite to space on behalf of Iran.

Among them are two Russian Ionosfera-M satellites and Iran Nahid-2 telecommunications satellites.

The State News Agency Tass reported on Friday that Soyuz’s rocket was lifted from Vostochny Cosmodrome in the Amur Russian region and brought 20 satellites.

Nahid-2, the research and communication satellite assigned by the Iranian Space Agency and developed by the Iranian World Research Institute, weighs 110 kilograms, according to Iran IRIB News Agency.

However, Tehran has revealed that satellites do not pursue military destinations.

The United States and Israel are worried that Iran can use space technology to build remote military missiles.

The fact that Russia launches satellites to space for Iran is not new.

In 2022, Moscow launched the surveillance satellite he had built for Iran.

The two countries worked closely, mainly because of western sanctions that burden both of them.
