Waiting on the Cause
No cause has been given yet. What Iranian Space Agency finds will be added here, and to the updates below.
According to U.S. Space Command, Iran suffered a rocket launch failure early on June 12th. While there are no details available as to which rocket was used, what the payload was or how exactly the launch had failed, OSINT efforts suggest that the launcher used was the Simorgh rocket. This makes it a fourth consecutive failure of the Simorgh launch vehicle.
The Iranian Space Agency is Iran's governmental space agency. Iran became an orbital-launch-capable nation in 2009. Iran is one of the 24 founding members of the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space, which was set up in 1958.
