      Iran Satellite is a Dummy


      Iran corrected earlier reports it made Sunday and said that it had launched a dummy satellite into orbit.

      At first, Iran's IRNA news agency reported that the Iranian-made communications satellite Omeid was launched but a later report said the satellite was a dummy.

      Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad read the countdown to the launch on Iranian TV.
