So the next Iran SAT will start from another country, maybe russia, and next SLV will have solid boosters? Sorry, thats what google translater says

No, it is talking about the costs per kg. He says the contract value for this Sat launch is $3.5M or around $15k per kg of sat weight. He says in future and using solid fuel carriers, they will bring it down to below $10k per kg. Then he says for a similar launch another country is charging $80M.So the next Iran SAT will start from another country, maybe russia, and next SLV will have solid boosters?

First development on the road map is to add another stage to Simorgh SLV which will be called Sarir. Later we will have a 4m diameter solid fuel SLV called Soroush which can reach Geo.

Actually more weight may favorably affect the cost per kg. Falcon 9 reusable puts 18.5t of payload in LEO at $50M or $2,700 per kg but you need to pay for full payload regardless of actual load.Would love to see where he is getting his numbers from.
Most SLVs now launch MULTIPLE sometimes 50+ more satellites in a single launch with insurance if their is catastrophic failure.
I am sure Iran will not insure any satellites from damage and the number he is comparing to needs reference if the satellite is being launch alone or in a cluster with other satellites as is now the case with most launches.
Nevertheless, $3.5 million is still pretty cheap for a foreign company who wants Iran to launch a satellite. For Iranian company that is around 40 million toman.
4 meter diameter Solid Fuel SLV????
It will be even bigger than Indian PSLV which has a diameter of 2.8 meters

From the interview the Soroosh is actually a (years away) 4m liquid fuel SLV.
The Qaem is probably a military SLV program at this point and only IRGC deals with it.
Because you can't understand farsi and use Google translation.why is he saying sarir is 1.5M and Soroush is 2M?
Buggered if I know,when its run thru google trans [lol!] it does say 2.4m and 4m,tho the rest is mostly gobble-dee-gook.why is he saying sarir is 1.5M and Soroush is 2M?
