According to CNN, US defense officials believe Iran to be preparing for another attempt in the near future, as indicated by satellite images captured by commercial firms Planet and Maxar, which show increased activity at the Imam Khomeini Spaceport in recent days.
According to the report, the images also show increased vehicle activity at the Khomeini launch site, some 200 miles east of Tehran, which experts say is another sign of a potentially imminent launch.
"US Space Command is aware of the Iranian rocket launch failure which occurred early June 12th," Pentagon spokesman Lt. Col. Uriah Orland said in a statement.
