2 things that they confirmed : 1- after India now Iran has anti satellite missiles , 2- Iran is going to launch bigger soiled fuel SLVs soon.

will future solid fuel SLV be iranian analogue of european Vega SLV ?

it seems so they are planing for bigger launch soon, here IRGC is talking about all soiled fuel SLV for better launches

Sounds like a joke!

Kanopus-V

Wondering whether the new facility near Karaj mentioned in the article could refer to this recent addition to Alborz Space Center.

The Pentagon was watching as Iran attempted, and failed, to launch yet another satellite into orbit earlier this month, multiple defense officials tell CNN.

ברקע המו"מ בין ארה"ב לאיראן על הסכם הגרעין, ב-CNN דווח כי בטהראן נעשה ניסיון שיגור נוסף, הרביעי במספר - אך הוא לא צלח. עם זאת, תמונות שנחשפו מראות כי באיראן מתכוננים לניסיון חוזר

How can they be setting up so quickly after a failed launch? Usually it takes time to assess the failure and make adjustments, but just weeks after is unprecedented. I'm sure their are more people that know more about the methodology. First launch could've been a test?

I suspect you may well be right on the money about it being a test,as to attempt another launch so soon after the previous one had failed would be foolish in the extreme,as there would be no time to undertake both comprehensive failure analysis,let alone to institute engineering fixes for whatever problems were found.
Frankly I`m amazed that they can even attempt to launch anything,considering the decrepit state that rouhanis government has left the space program in,and I think that it will likely take at least a couple of years of dedicated effort by the new government to get it back to where it was at the beginning of the 2010s,tho this would certainly be a perfect opportunity to take advantage of the newer rocket engine technology,both liquid and solid,that iran now has access to,in order to design the next generation of boosters with the ability to orbit practical payloads ranging from the mere hundreds of kgs right up to the low to mid thousands of kgs or heavier.

Heres an interesting theory on the recent launch
