Tehran (IP)- Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman has commented on the recent experimental launch of Simorgh satellite stating that scientific and research progress, including in aerospace, is the nation's inalienable right.

Iran PressIran news: The spokesman of Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that the country considers scientific and research progress, including in the field of aerospace, as an inalienable right of the Iranian nation. He said: "No resolution prohibits Iran from the program of aerospace research and related experiments, including in the field of satellites.

He made the remark in response to the recent claims by certain American and European officials regarding the test launch of Simorgh and said that making progress in aerospace is the inalienable right of the Iranian nation, stressing that such intervening statements will never weaken Iran's will to progress in this field.

Khatibzadeh added: "No resolution could stop  the Islamic Republic of Iran from  progressing in space research and related experiments, including in the field of satellites, so citing Resolution 2231 is a useless fallacy and fundamentally untrue."

He said as stated before, Iran has the right to use peaceful technologies in service of scientific-research progress based on international standards and will not wait for the opinion of other countries in this regard.

Khatibzadeh went on to express the gratitude of the Iranian nation for the young scientists who managed to achieve such progress in spite of illegal and unjust sanctions.
