According to Sputnik, on Friday, the US President Donald Trump tweeted an uncommonly high-resolution photo of an apparent explosion at Iran's space centre.
The Iranian Information and Communications Technology Minister, Mohammad Javad Azari Jahromi, posted a photo of himself and the alleged failed satellite on his Twitter account to ridicule Trump's claims.
“Me & Nahid I right now, Good Morning Donald Trump!” Jahromi wrote Saturday alongside a picture in which he’s standing next to the solar-powered communication satellite, which is visibly undamaged.
Trump's action in posting the black-and-white photo has also raised questions about whether he had disclosed US surveillance secrets, according to Reuters.
