Under an extreme set of sanctions Iran has joined a club of just 15 countries who've successfully launched military satellites.
The satellite is named Nur (Light), and was launched from a mobile launcher. It has dual use - military+civilian and will enhance Iran's strategic capabilities.
Footage from Earth and satellite cameras show the moment of separation and illumination of the various stages of the satellite.
