Debkafile reports that Reza Taghizadeh, head of Iran's aero-space program, announced today that a dummy communictions satellite was sucessfully boosted into orbit 8-17-08.
It is believed that the capsule was boosted by the Shehab-5 missile, whose
range the Iranians boast is up to 5,000 km and, according to some military
experts, reaches 7,000 km.
The announcement is likely to further alarm the EU and comes at a bad time for the Russian argument against placing a defensive missile battery in Poland.
