Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has confirmed in an interview with NBC News that Tehran’s bid to send a satellite into space failed in early February, the second such mishap within two months.

Zarif on February 15 said the reasons for the failure were not yet clear, but he suggested authorities will investigate possible sabotage by the United States after a report in The New York Times published on February 13.

Citing current and former U.S. administration officials, The Times reported that the White House has accelerated a secret American program to sabotage Iran’s missiles and rockets.

Zarif said Iran has been investigating the causes of the failures but that it was now "looking into the specifics" because of the article in The Times.

Reminder the NY Times offered special guided tours of Iran, and only stopped them in 2018
