Simorgh is obsolete!!!
Iran should be at Safir-3 by now, would need following requirements:
*1st stage: powered by 8 Shahab-3 engine clusters
*2nd stage powered by 4 Shahab-3 engine clusters (Simorgh)
Now this SLV would be powerful enough to launch a heavy satellite into GEO orbit and MULTIPLE heavy sats into LEO.
I stuck with Shahab-3 engine, because even though it is old soviet design and not as powerful as modern day rocket engines, it is what is currently available to Iran to deploy.
Furthermore, by attaching next gen Solid fuel engines to a SRB(solid rocket boosters). Iran’s 80+ ton solid engines in development could further more launch this SLV with much heavier payloads to further extremes.
