伊朗表示，周日“成功”发射一枚卫星但未进入预定轨道，这对该国的太空项目是一个打击，美国则表示这是伊朗研究导弹的一个借口。
 
The attempted launch of the Zafar - "Victory" in Farsi - comes days before the 41st ­anniversary of the Islamic Revolution and crucial parliamentary elections in Iran.
 
Arch foes2 Iran and the United States have appeared to be on the brink3 of an all-out confrontation4 twice in the past seven months.
 
Long-standing acrimony between Tehran and Washington was exacerbated5 in 2018 when US President Donald Trump6 unilaterally withdrew from a deal that froze Iran's nuclear program, before issuing new demands that Tehran curtail7 its development of ballistic missiles.
 
Washington has also raised concerns in the past about Tehran's satellite program, saying the launch of a carrier rocket in January 2019 amounted to a violation8 of limits on its ballistic missiles.
 
Iran maintains it has no intention of acquiring nuclear weapons, and says its aerospace9 activities are peaceful and comply with a UN Security Council resolution.
 
On Sunday, it launched the Zafar satellite at 7:15 pm but it fell short of reaching orbit, the defense10 ministry11 said.
