However, with the 2015 Iran nuclear deal still in limbo following the United States' unilateral withdrawal in 2018 that included the imposition of major sanctions on Iran, Tehran has conducted several high-profile space launches, including military launches.
The most recent occurred in September, when the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it successfully placed a third imaging satellite into orbit 450 km (280 miles) away.
Several more satellite launches are expected in the coming months, according to Iranian officials. The US and its allies continue to condemn Iran's missile and space launches, especially those that include long-range ballistic missiles, which could potentially be used to carry nuclear warheads.
Tehran insists that its nuclear program is solely for peaceful purposes.
In August 2022, Russia helped Iran launch an imaging satellite from a space base in Kazakhstan, which also attracted Western attention.
