Manama, Bahrain): Amidst the ongoing tensions with Israel, Iran has created a stir by claiming to have successfully launched into space. Tehran claimed the successful launch on Monday.

Iran's launch important amid tension in the Middle East
This launch has been announced by Iran at a time when tensions are increasing in West Asia due to Israel's ongoing war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip and the weak ceasefire agreement in Lebanon.
