The U.S. State Department said Iran’s development of a space-launch vehicle gives the country the “technical basis” to develop long-range ballistic missile systems.
At a time when world pressure on Iran is building against their nuclear program, it may pose more trouble to the Obama administration at a time when they are attempting to reach out to Iran to establish a dialog.
Even France is worried and has expressed concern over the launch of the Satellite.
Though this may cause more international pressure to increase against Iran, time is running short. I personally doubt much will be done to stop Iran.
If nothing is done, they will not only have a nuclear weapon but the capability to launch long range missiles as well.
