U.S. President
Donald Trump on Friday posted on
Twitter a photo of what appeared to be the site of a failed Iranian satellite launch, raising questions about whether he had disclosed U.S. surveillance secrets.
The black-and-white photo showed the fire-blasted launch site at a space center in northern
Iran including a damaged gantry service tower and a downed mobile erector launcher.
Speaking to reporters at the
White House later on Friday, Trump defended his posting of the photo and reiterated that the
United States had nothing to do with the incident.
