Under Trump mostly yes but actually since then they don't announce it. They didn't announce Khorramshahr or Qased launches for example.were there any news from missile launch in iran from USA ? they always tracked and announced such things

Well Iran has a history of covering up failed launches. Given the history we can speculate can't we? Also just few weeks back they were saying Nahid-1 would be launched in coming weeks onboard Ghaem-100 SLV. So where is this launch? It would make sense if it took place but failed and is now being covered up.
Since Safir's retirment Simorgh has failed over and over again, Zuljunah is flying on "test" launches for last 2 years and now Ghaem-100 has failed a orbital launch. Only reason iran has had a successful orbital launch since 2015 is because of Qased SLV which is powered by SCUD technology in it's main booster stage!
You realize that Safir had the majority of launch failures of all of Iran’s SLVs?
Yes you are quite right. Without hard evidence all we can do is speculate which is what we are doing. Iranian's prior to 2019 never used to disclose launch failures. I remember in July 2017 a Simorgh launch was initially announced as a "test" with no payload on board then few years later in 2020 we were told it had Tolou satellite on board and was supposed to launch to 500 km Circular LEO but failed 20 seconds into the second stage burn.If you only find an indistinct scorch mark, you can claim a rocket launch failure every time!
I don't think that's true. Safir had 4/6 successful orbital launches (2 failures), Simorgh has had 0/3 successful orbital launches (at least 3 failures, one more is disputed). Safir also had 2/2 successful sub-orbital launches while Simorgh had 1/2 successful sub-orbital launches.You realize that Safir had the majority of launch failures of all of Iran’s SLVs?

Yes but it also had the most launches of any Iranian SLV. So more failures is expected.
The lack of announcements so far suggests that Nahid may really have disappeared into space.Still waiting for Nahid-1 and Nahid-2 to be inserted into orbit.
Just to put some fire under the Iranian Space agency officials ..
We lost 8 years of development because of Rouhani as* hole selling our space program and nuclear program to the west for no gains (oh yes I forgot.. may be we got those 3 ATR planes that they honored us by taking our money ..the 3 ATR are sitting on tarmac because they can not be serviced now)
Indian SLV..LV_III Liftes 5800 Kilogram payload. Ten years ago Iran was not far from India in space race but now we are far from India. They just tested their reusable shuttle. And we are waiting to lift 100 kilo.

Quite happy with Raisi approach indeed..he was smart enough to understand the importance of space and went for it from the get-go.. lets hope he can recover some of the time lost...By contrast, the Raisi administration compared to its predecessors broke every record in terms of launch frequencies.
Iran lost valuable time under the liberal and western-appeasing Rohani administration no doubt. On a side note, I spotted several flags of western regimes on that Indian SLV. Iran's all on her own by contrast.
