Is the new arm of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Photoshop?

I quote from 'Haaretz'...."After Iran's provocative missile test launch on Wednesday, in which the Islamic republic test fired missiles it said could hit Israel, an image surfaced in all the major media outlets, depicting four missiles being fired simultaneously.

However, the French news agency Agence France-Presse, which originally obtained the image from the Sepah News Web site owned by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards on Wednesday, later retracted the photo and replaced it with an image containing only three missiles,".... see here.

INSERT DESCRIPTION

I quote, .."The four-missile version of the image released Wednesday by Sepah News, the media arm of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, two major sections (encircled in red) appear to closely replicate other sections (encircled in orange)."...

Look at the following photos to see the possible photoshop manipulation:

korzac, I like this story. It's good stuff.  If you have a big gun, you look better with two big guns.  Nothing new from this area of the world. 

I would not have noticed, but since you brought it up.  look at the sky around the

I did a story on the Iran missile tests today which amounted to them firing that missle that misfired.  PressTv and IRINN showed footage of yestrudays military activities saying it happened today as well.  It was someof the same video.  PressTV amd IRINN is able to be seen in the USA with KU-Band digital satellite equiptment.  PressTV is in english  while IRINN has an english crawl with headlines.  I added a link to your story.  I didn't want to take away from your story as you had it first.  My story started out as documenting todays Iran activites.  It crossed over when I did an analysis on why would Iran doctor photos, fake news coverge, lie about the number of rockets it fired (6 instead of 9), and lie about the distance the missiles traveled. 

They are trying scare Israel so they will not attack the Nuke facilities. 

I made sure your story was linked as you did a wonderful job.  Congrats on the Top Story!

I read your story. Very well researched, and thanks for the linking and the warm words..

I am a long time 'subscriber' to TV press and and IRINN. Very often, after reading the Israeli press, I check their sites.

Looks like the old Soviet propaganda days. Ahmadinejad always runs his mouth but nothing to back it up. Good story!

Not only is it Photoshop, it's an obviously photoshopped image. Furthermore, there's no guarantee the rest of the image wasn't photoshopped from another image we don't see.

Wow.  I bet that this is the very first time that some unscrupulous government or journalist has ever manipulated the facts or impressions of events.  A brilliant catch.

Did they Photoshop the Gays too ?

Now seeing this,  i'm not sure if they have
and can fly : SUKHOI

same for Sunburn

google :  Syria +Sunburn

There aren't even (Salmon Rusdie like) Fatwa's on GWB .   .    .    .     . this is a strange country and BTW

when the Shah was attacked, they showed one torture chambre, .   .   .  ONE, .  .  .  and that  had to prove that the Sawak?? was so cruel.

One room with one chair , I remember - The Austrian Incester did worse on his own.


BTW2 :

What a bad PR Iran  makes on Satellite PRESSTV which all these women ancres made so super hyper mega UGLY with these horrible Shawls / Scarfs - There was one exception : a Lady reporter from Peshawar : first nice scarf plus lots of hair.

Normally these scarfs make me vomit. -As a catholic When young being an altar boy , .  .  I had that with the nuns too.

What a relief to hear that during Muhammed and 1000 years before , Scarfs were obliged for prostitutes - .  .  .  that makes me smile now.

Are they really that incompetent? Another couple minutes work and you could make it much more difficult to notice.

korzac, I like this story. It's good stuff. Let's hope we don't find out, if we can avoid a push comes to shove match, cause it won't be pretty~! Especially in Western countries, where expats living in our countries will certainly take exception to aggression against Iran and a battle, especially since most of our fighting forces are like 8,000 miles away from home~~! You don't shit in someones backyard, when their extended family are all living in your yard. And if you do, you better have and equal number of your own family members in your  own yard with pooper scoopers. Cause yer gonna need em!

will america never learn.....if you make aggressive moves then people will take actions so as to counter those aggressions. If I come to your house and bag on the door and shout many insults, will you cower and pull your family close or will you go to the door and shout back at me. In america you will probably also shoot me through your door.
