tested out its Zuljanah satellite launcher on Sunday, the second of three tests scheduled for the long-range ballistic launcher, which the US fears could be used to launch nuclear warheads.
The test, reported by Iranian state TV, comes a day after European brass hats said talks on reviving the nuclear deal with Tehran would resume within days.
The rocket’s name, Zuljanah, comes from the name of the horse of Imam Hussein, the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad. It weighs 52 tons, is 25.5 meters in length, and can carry loads of up to 220 kilograms at an orbit of 500 kilometers above the surface, according to a report by Iran’s semi-official Fars News Agency.
"The third development phase of the Zuljanah satellite launcher will be based on a combination of information gained during today’s launch," a defense ministry spokesperson was cited by Rooters as saying Sunday.
Iran first acknowledged the planned tests for the Zuljanah satellite launcher on June 15, after satellite images taken by Maxar Technologies showed preparations at a launch pad at Imam Khomeini Spaceport in Iran’s rural Semnan province, the site of frequent recent failed attempt

s to put a satellite into orbit.
One set of images showed a rocket on a transporter, preparing to be lifted and put on a launch tower. A later image showed the rocket apparently on the tower.
A spokesperson of Iran’s Defense Ministry responded to the published images by saying the tests would be conducted for "research" purposes, according to Fars News Agency.
But the US has rejected such claims, accusing Tehran of refueling tensions in the area.
