Iran Launches Its First-Ever Military Satellite into Orbit
----------------------------------------------------------

Iran said Wednesday it has launched its first military satellite into
orbit, after a series of launch attempts last year ended in failure.
Iran has long accused the United States of a covert program of sabotage
targeting its aerospace supply chain, and last year President Trump
seemed to confirm the program in a tweet taunting Iran following a
mysterious explosion at a rocket launch site.
