Iran Tests Zuljanah Satellite Launcher For Second Time - TV DUBAI, June 26 (Reuters) - Iran has carried out a second test of its Zuljanah satellite launcher, Iranian state TV reported on Sunday, in a move likely to irk Washington amid expectations of a resumption of indirect talks between the arch foes to revive a 2015 nuclear pact. The United States fears such long-range ballistic technology used to put satellites into orbit could also be used to launch nuclear warheads. teamextreme minecraft server Tehran denies the U.S. accusation. "The third development phase of the Zuljanah satellite launcher will be based on a combination of information gained during today's launch," a defence ministry spokesperson told state TV, without clarifying whether the test was successful. teamextreme minecraft server The announcement comes as Washington and Tehran have been locked in an intractable impasse for months. They are expected to end the impasse in the next few days to reach an agreement on the 2015 pact that would have ended Tehran's nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief. Last year, the United States voiced concern at the successful launch of a domestically made satellite launcher. Tehran said that it was designed to help Iran build its "most powerful rocket engines". The Zuljanah satellite launcher is made up of a combination solid and liquid fuels. It can launch three satellites simultaneously.
