🇮🇷 🇷🇺 Iran will start joint production of satellites with Russia. This was announced by the Minister of Communications and Information Technology of Iran Isa Zarepour.

Earlier, the Iranian authorities reported that the satellite, named after the Iranian astronomer, mathematician and poet Omar Khayyam, was launched the day before from the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan by a Russian Soyuz 2.1b satellite launch vehicle.

Isa Zarepour clarified that the satellite was made by Russia on the order of Iran. Now Tehran plans to create a joint production line with Russia for the second, third and fourth versions of this satellite.

The head of ISA added that the cost of Khayyam is $ 40 million, and it will be operated for 5 years.

At the same time, the West fears that Moscow will try to use Khayyam to spy on Ukraine (they act as if Russia doesnt have its own satellites) and Tehran will try to spy on Israel and other countries in the Middle East.
