Iran's President Ebrahim Raisi has welcomed the recent launch of locally produced satellites into space as a significant development that neutralized Western sanctions and defeated hostile plans to isolate the country.

Raisi made the statements while speaking at an event commemorating National Space Technology Day on Saturday in Tehran.

The Iranian president stated that Iran is currently one of the top ten countries in the world for aerospace technology, emphasizing that the country's progress was a sign of successfully turning sanctions and threats into opportunities.

Raisi also praised the launch of domestic research satellites into low Earth orbits (LEOs) and stated that Iranian scientists are showcasing notable breakthroughs, achievements, and goods while opponents use mainstream media to instill cynicism

He commended the Iranian Space Agency (ISA) for its consistent success in the aerospace industry and assured that Tehran would prevail in the face of all difficulties, reiterating that Iran uses space technology in a variety of areas, including agriculture, water and natural resource management, mineral deposit identification, and border security.

Iran launches three new satellites into orbit

Iran recently successfully launched three domestically developed satellites into orbit, marking another milestone in the country's space program.

The satellites, Mahda, Keyhan-2, and Hatef-1, were propelled into space by the Simorgh (Phoenix) launch vehicle, manufactured by the Iranian Defense Ministry.

The launch took place on Sunday from the Imam Khomeini Space Launch Terminal in Semnan Province. The satellites achieved a minimum altitude of 450 kilometers and a maximum of 1,100 kilometers above sea level.

Mahda, a research satellite weighing 32 kilograms, was designed, manufactured, assembled, and tested at the Iranian Space Research Center.

On Tuesday, the Iranian Defense Ministry revealed that Iran has uncovered plans to develop satellite launch vehicles that could send up to 15 tons of cargo into orbit.

Ahmad Hosseini Mounes, Iran's space division spokesperson, said the country's innovative space pursuits are “completely scientific and technological” and do not rely on any foreign entity's permission.
