And we don’t like it:

Iran is to launch two more rockets into space in the next few months, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad announced on Monday, after a firing of a rocket earlier this month sparked international concern.

“Two other rockets will be launched so that we can then send a satellite into space,” Ahmadinejad said at a rally in Tehran broadcast live on state television.

“We home that Iran’s first home-produced satellite will be launched in the summer,” he added, reiterating a prediction made by other Iranian officials who said the satellite would be launched in May.

The United States, which has led international efforts to pressure Iran to freeze controversial nuclear activities, has said Tehran’s activities in space risked further isolating the Islamic republic.

I guess they don’t know that we own outer space. It seems like the more we say “Iran can’t do that”, the more they are out to do it. Perhaps a new approach, like talking to them, is in order.
