Iran has successfully tested a rocket early today.
According to Mohsen Bahrami, head of Iran's Space Research Centre, Iran's Science and Technology and Defence Ministries had built the rocket.
No other details were given.
Iran in the past has announced that it wants to launch  its own satellites into orbit. In 2005, Iran launched its first such satellite in a joint project with Russia.
Iran hopes to launch four more satellites by 2010, to increase the number of land and mobile telephone lines to 80 million from 22 million and expand the number of Internet users to 35 million from 5.5 million in the next five years.
