Iran Ignore US Warning, Launches Satellite, Fails

CNN Reports Iran launched a satellite on Tuesday that failed to reach orbit, after the US warned against the launch earlier this month. Mohammad Jahromi, the country's Minister of Communications and Information Technology, spoke after a ceremony was held for the launch at Imam Khomeini Spaceport early Tuesday. He said that the satellite "did not reach enough speed in the third stage and was not put into orbit,"
The minister said Iran would launch another satellite soon.
