I usually rag on MR for using photographic evidence as proof of something. IOW and for all conspiracy theorists out there....how easy could this pic be faked? Not saying it is fraudulent but for all it’s worth it may be an insight into just how much less privacy there is left in the world today. It’s as if the technology exists to photograph a mosquito biting my ass while I catch an afternoon nap laying in the backyard. It’s freaky and points to the fact there’s a lot I don’t know of what’s actually going on.

Too bad for the Iranians (or is it Irani’s?). Rockets as we know have a tendency to go boom on occasion. Back to the drawing board and praising Allah. By the way, is that Arabic writing on the lower portion of the launch ring? If so, what does it say?

US or Israeli military hackers and malware developers did their job, maybe.
