Fox News
Iran said Thursday it launched a rocket with a satellite carrier bearing three devices into space, though it's unclear if any of the objects entered orbit around the Earth.
Ahmad Hosseini, a Defense Ministry spokesman, identified the rocket use as a Simorgh, or "Phoenix," rocket. He said the three devices were sent up 470 kilometers (290 miles).
Hosseini was quoted as saying the "performance of the space center and the performance of the satellite carrier was done properly."
