Iran Missile Pictures Were Fake

July 10, 2008 · Mustapha Hamoui

Let’s add one more missile to spice up that picture, said the mullah’s photoshop artist.

If you read the newspaper this morning, chances are you saw that picture with 4 scary missiles being launched in the Iranian desert (example). But as this post in the New York Time shows, one of the missiles was a digital duplicate. A bit embarrassing considering the fact that the whole purpose of the picture is to show the west that “Iran is stronger than you think”.
