Tehran: Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard on Wednesday said it launched a military satellite into orbit amid wider tensions with the US, a successful launch after months of failures.
There was no immediate independent confirmation of the launch of the satellite, which the Guard called "Noor", or light.
The Guard on its official [site] said the satellite successfully reached an orbit of 425 kilometers (264 miles) above the Earth's surface.
The two-stage satellite launch took off from Iran's Central Desert, the Guard said, without elaborating.
Can anyone confirm this? Has a new orbital element manifested in the heavens?

Get real. International law was always Caucasian powers making up rules for the rest of the world to follow. Reciprocal treaties? The USA tribe-hopped across the continent, and then island hopped across the pacific making deals with sovereign tribes and then breaking them. Jesus Freaks in the USA? We're just trying to counter-balance the Ayatollahs, who seem way too eager to blow a little country called Israels off the map and most likely covering themselves with fallout in the process, but hay what's a little nuke dust when your followers routinely blow themselves up anyway? There was no golden age. Anywhere. People have always been dicks.
