The news comes as the country continues to see widespread protests and calls for change over the death of Mahsa Amini.
Iran has tested a new satellite-carrying rocket in a development likely to anger the US.
General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, head of the Revolutionary Guards' aerospace division which developed the Ghaem 100, said the rocket would be used to launch Iran's Nahid satellite for the telecommunications ministry, state media reported. Saturday's test is likely to cause concern in Washington, which fears the same long-range ballistic technology used to put satellites into orbit could also be used to launch nuclear warheads.widespread protests and calls for change over the death of Mahsa Amini"The flight test of this satellite carrier with a solid-fuelled engine … was successfully completed," state news agency IRNA reported.
Iran, which has one of the biggest missile programmes in the Middle East, has had several failed satellite launches in the past few years, blamed on technical issues.

Frontiers | Acute Effect of a Dietary Multi-Ingredient Nootropic as a Cognitive Enhancer in Young Healthy Adults: A Randomized, Triple-Blinded, Placebo-Controlled, Crossover TrialAim: To study the acute effect of a dietary multi-ingredient nootropic on cognitive performance in young healthy adults. We also analyzed the influence of the dietary multi-ingredient nootropic on emotional state, heart rate (HR), and heart rate variability (HRV). Methods: This is a randomized, triple-blinded, placebo-controlled, crossover trial. 26 young healthy adults (50% women; 24.9±3.3 years old) ingested 10g of a dietary multi-ingredient nootropic [Evo-Gamers®; Harrison Sport Nutrition (HSN), Granada, Spain] or placebo (maltodextrin) in a randomized order (clinicaltrials.gov No. NCT04790188). After 30 min of the ingestion, participants performed a battery of cognitive performance tests to measure processing speed, inhibitory control, working memory, cognitive flexibility, creativity, and verbal fluency. Emotional status was assessed through questionnaires and HR and HRV were measured using a heart rate monitor. Results: In comparison with placebo, the acute ingestion of the nootropic showed a significantly better response time in several cognitive tests (i.e., processing speed, inhibitory control, spatial working memory, and cognitive flexibility, all P0.05). Conclusion: An acute ingestion of a dietary multi-ingredient nootropic enhances cognitive performance in comparison with placebo without negatively influencing HR or HRV in young healthy adults.
