If you don't have strategic subsystem capabilities such as foto detectors, big lenses, transponders, maybe HAL propulsion, sun cells which enables you to build your own spy satellites which has a resolution below 1m, Then, Having an ambitious of building satellite launcher platforms doesn't proivde any serious capabilities to you. Under this ciscumstances, While Others you are competing with, are watching all your steps one by one, As a result of this d@ck measure policies, You just busy to send monkeys into space to emphasize "Look How serious Satellite Launch capabilities Iran have" but At the end, The winner will always be the one which have strong satellite system/subsystem technologies in their hands.
I think Iran should have a serious industrial plan based on requirements of facts instead of considering cold war era politic competitions or power stregth propaganda activities...
