TEHRAN (Reuters) – Iran is building four more satellites, the telecommunications minister was quoted on Sunday as saying, after the Islamic Republic put its first domestically produced satellite into orbit last week.

Iran launched a research and telecom satellite, called Omid, on Tuesday, a step that worried Western powers who fear Tehran is seeking to build a nuclear bomb and missile delivery systems.

Iran insists its nuclear work is to generate electricity and said the satellite launch was for peaceful purposes.

Apparently not too worried. Not worried enough to do anything about it but talk, talk, talk. Iran is putting all the time our unwillingness to deal with them to good use, working full speed to develop a nuclear weapon and a delivery system.

The satlelite was about the size of a gratefruit, the thing to worry about is “When” they can learn to send them up in stages, that would be how they would develop long range missiles, they can reach Israel right now, but not the USA, yet.
