Japanese Mitsubishi Heavy Industries has announced that the H-2A rocket carrying the first of two Inmarsat-6 satellites of a British Inmarsat Globa company has been successfully launched. It was stated that the rocket, which took off from the Tanegashima Space Center in southwestern Japan, entered the planned orbit approximately 26 minutes later. The launch was initially scheduled for earlier this week, but was put off due to bad weather. Insarmat-6 is reported to be the world’s largest commercial communication satellite.

Developed jointly by the Japan Space Exploration Agency (JAXA) and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, the H2A rocket is known to be an advanced version of the previous model H2 rocket, which has been redesigned to increase safety and minimize costs.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Arakchi issued a stern warning to the UK, Germany, and France, accusing them of making a “new strategic mistake” regarding Tehran’s nuclear program. In a social media post, Arakchi said, “Iran will give a tough and determined response to the violation of its rights,” criticizing the European trio for backing a resolution against Iran at the IAEA Board of Governors.

Arakchi condemned the move as baseless, recalling past disputes in 2005 which led to the expansion of Iran’s uranium enrichment. “Have these three really not learned any lessons in the last twenty years?” he said.

Meanwhile, the IAEA reported on May 31 that Iran’s 60% enriched uranium stockpile had grown from 274.8 kg in February to 408.6 kg by May 17. In response, the UK, Germany, and France are reportedly preparing to refer Iran’s file to the UN Security Council, which could activate the “snapback” mechanism and reimpose UN sanctions.
