The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanani condemned the "interventionist" position of France, Germany, and the United Kingdom in a joint statement issued on Friday regarding Iran's launch of the Soraya satellite into low Earth orbit (LEO) with the Qaem-100 space launch vehicle.

Tehran, he stated, does not seek permission from certain countries before using peaceful technology for scientific advancements.

He expressed it was Iran's“inalienable and legitimate right” to enhance science and research in the aerospace realm.

The "interventionist comments" which reflect their egocentric views on Iran's advancement, will have no impact on the Iranian nation's commitment to achieve continuous progress in science and technology, according to the spokesman.

Iran's successful launch of the Soraya satellite 750 km above the earth's surface last Saturday is the first new space launch record for the country.

The Soraya satellite was launched into orbit using its domestically produced Qaem 100 satellite carrier.

In its third test flight, Qaem 100, Iran's first three-stage solid-fueled rocket capable of carrying up to 100 kilograms, successfully launched a research payload weighing around 50 kilograms into orbit.

Britain, France, and Germany issued a unified statement condemning the launch and accusing Iran of using a launch vehicle that requires the creation of a long-range ballistic missile system, potentially allowing Iran to launch longer-range missiles.

Kanaani further stated that despite numerous "arbitrary interpretations rooted in the unilateral tendencies of certain parties," Iran's scientific applied activities under international regulations are limitless.

Additionally, he noted that Tehran rejects the"imposition of such unconventional approaches."

Kanaani confirmed Iran's right to employ peaceful technology for scientific and research progress, as protected by international law.
