Iran satellite launch signals defiance after war with Israel, experts say

Kasra Aarabi, director of research on Iran's Revolutionary Guards at US advocacy group United Against Nuclear Iran, said the latest Qased test should push European powers to consider triggering the so-called snapback of United Nations sanctions.

“The Islamic Republic's latest test will make the triggering of the Snapback mechanism by the E3—Britain, France, and Germany—all the more crucial to limit Iran’s capabilities and resources,” Aarabi said.
