View submission: Iran 'sends monkey into space'
Back in the 60s, during the Cold War, the whole purpose of the US Space Program was to let the Soviets know that if we can put a rocket on the moon we can damn well put one on Moscow. Iran is trying to show they have the missile technology without appearing aggressive.

And now they have the capability to enrich uranium to 90%. But oh, no, they don't want nuclear weapons...

Or they could just be developing a space program. The fact the US has a history of aggressive tactics doesn't mean every other country does.
