Arthur T Knackerbracket has found the following story:
Iran said Sunday that two newly constructed satellites have passed pre-launch tests and will be transported to the nation's space center for eventual launch, without elaborating.
Telecommunications Minister Mohammad Javad Azari Jahromi tweeted about the development, calling it an "important research step."
Iran has not said when it will launch the satellites, but often coordinates its launches with national holidays. It will celebrate the 41st anniversary of the Islamic Revolution next month.
Iran's largely state-run media say the 90-kilogram (200-pound) Zafar satellites each have four high-resolution color cameras and will monitor and transmit data on natural resources as well as agricultural and environmental developments.
[...] Iran has sent several satellites into orbit over the past decade, and in 2013 it launched a monkey into space.

While the USA seems to have been the maker of it's own problem. I'm not sure another Nuclear Power is what the world needs, especially in a country that might go ahead and launch a nuke at someone, because Allah would be pleased.
