Iran Satellite Launch - US Concerned that the same Technology can be used....
When Iran enriches Uranium, the US and its allies got concerned because the same technology can be used in the production of Nuclear weapons.

When Iran launches a satellite, the US and its allies got concerned because the same technology can be used in the production of long-range Misseles.
