At least one of the photographs released today by Iran and published by an unquestioning Western media has been Photoshopped:

OK, here's the grand finale. Baghdad Bob, Looter Guy, Rage Boy, Bomb Magnet, Green Helmet Guy, Tourist Guy, burning Beirut in the background, Iraqi woman with the fake bullets, and Obama in his turban with his fake birth certificate, all in front of Iran's photoshopped missiles!

Here is what the US Military reports:

**********************************

From Reuters:

U.S. says Iran test-fired two missile rounds

**************************EXCERPT************************

Thu Jul 10, 2008 11:11pm BST

By Randall Mikkelsen and David Morgan

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Iran has test-fired two rounds of missiles, including a single medium-range Shahab-3 missile capable of hitting Israel, but does not appear to have tested new or enhanced technology, U.S. officials said on Thursday.

Officials from the Defense Department and U.S. intelligence agencies said the two tests involved between seven and 10 missiles altogether and took place within hours of each other on Wednesday.

Tehran said it tested its second round of missiles on Thursday, but U.S. officials said both rounds were fired on Wednesday. They were both completed by the time U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates spoke to reporters at the Pentagon early on Wednesday afternoon, according to defence officials.

"There were two firings, the second of which involved a single missile," said one defence official who spoke on condition of anonymity because the topic involves classified information.

News of the missile tests roiled the world oil market. Rumours of a third test helped drive crude oil prices up by $6 a barrel on Thursday afternoon.

But U.S. officials said there was no sign that a third test had taken place. "There were two firings. That's it. That's all there's been," the defence official said.

Officials said the firings appeared to be conducted in conjunction with Iranian military exercises and may also have included short-range weapons designed for use against ships in the Gulf.

"It does appear that they had a small military exercise last evening, very small," an intelligence official said.

The 3 missile photo was shown in the Thursday issue of the Washington Post, and also credited as from Al-Alam television. Can anyone tell anything about Al-Alam, what country it is from, Sunni or Shia, hard-line Islam, more modern version? I see that this photo was also taken from an elevated position whereas the 4 missile one was taken closer to ground level.
