An Iranian satellite was successfully launched into orbit on Tuesday by a Russian rocket.
At 8:52 a.m. Moscow time (05:52 GMT) on Tuesday, the Soyuz rocket launched from the Baikonur launch complex in Kazakhstan, which is under lease to Russia.
The satellite bears the name of the Persian scientist Omar Khayyam, who lived in the 11th and 12th centuries.
The high-resolution camera-equipped satellite, according to Iran, will be used for environmental monitoring but critics say the satellite might be used by Russia to monitor Ukraine amid its ongoing conflict.
The satellite might enable Iran w to monitor Israel and other Middle Eastern nations.
