WANA (Oct 06) – Iran’s first satellite launch, scheduled soon from the Chabahar Space Base, has drawn admiration and praise from the global space community and international observers.

 

Many non-Iranian social media users congratulated the Iranian people on their country’s scientific progress despite international sanctions, highlighting the dedication and perseverance of Iranian scientists.

 

Hassan Salarieh, head of the Iranian Space Agency, announced on Saturday that the Chabahar Space Base has reached 93 percent completion and is expected to become operational this fall, underscoring Iran’s strategic ambitions in the space sector.

 

Foreign commentators particularly lauded Iran’s self-reliance and independence from the U.S. and other countries, noting that these factors have significantly contributed to the country’s achievements.

 

Some even contrasted Iran’s progress with the limited space advancements of wealthier, non-sanctioned Arab nations.
