Iran will launch a satellite into orbit by the end of this week, as part of a programme that US says is a cover for ballistic missile development

Iran's Technology Minister Mohammad Javad Azari-Jahromi says the"Zafar satellite" will be launched by the end of this week, a programme the US sees as camouflage for Tehran's missile development.

Iran will launch a satellite into orbit by the end of this week, a government minister said on Monday, as part of a programme that the US says is a cover for ballistic missile development. Tehran denies that satellite activity is a cover for missile development and says it has never pursued the development of nuclear weapons.The administration of US President Donald Trump reimposed sanctions on Iran following Washington's 2018 withdrawal from an international accord designed to curb Iran's nuclear program.

Tensions have reached the highest level in decades between Iran and the United States after Iranian military commander Qasem Soleimani was killed in a US drone strike on January 3, prompting Iran to retaliate with a missile attack against a US base in Iraq.
