TEHRAN (Press TV) -- Iran has submitted a note of protest to the United Nations space agency demanding the body to condemn U.S. sanctions targeting three Iranian space institutions.
The letter addressed to United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) on Wednesday said the U.S. move last month to blacklist Iran Space Agency, Iran Space Research Center and the Astronautics Research Institute could hamper efforts in the country to use space sciences for peaceful purposes, including for climate protection and prevention of natural disasters.
